January 13 – February 5, 2023
Bagley Wright Theater
As she grieves the death of her older sister, Júlia Reyes faces pressure to put her own dreams of becoming a writer on hold. She finds herself caught between her family’s expectations and the less than perfect life she grapples with every day as a 15-year-old growing up in Chicago. A rich and poignant exploration of how to transcend your circumstances while remaining true to who you are.
Performed in English. Spanish Captioned Performances February 3-5, 2023. To reserve the best seats for viewing Spanish open captioning, look for the “es” icons on the seat map to get the best view of the captioning screen.
