The David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center at Pocantico
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
Join us for a special work-in-process concert of Spanglish Sh!t, a new bilingual musical.
In this production, Brujita, a trans Puerto Rican witch, stands trial at the Supreme Court, accused of brewing up a vengeful hurricane to blow away the White House. Pleading innocence, Brujita’s testimony takes us from the warm hills of Puerto Rico to the frigid suburbs of New Jersey. But there’s no escaping the guilt of her whitewashed past.
Book and lyrics by Samora La Perdida; music by Josiah Handelman, Matthew Zwiebel, and Mobéy Lola Irizarry; and produced by En Garde Arts.
A reception will follow the performance. Presented in partnership with the RBF Culpeper Arts & Culture program and En Garde Arts as part of the Culpeper Summer Performance Series.
Recommended for ages 13+.
