BORDERLANDS THEATER PROUDLY PRESENTS ITS 2013/14 SEASON!

EVERYDAY MIRRORS/ ESPEJOS COTIDIANOS:

THE PERSONAL IS THE POLITICAL

 

GROUNDED

by George Brant

 

An NNPN Rolling World Premiere!  2012 Winner of The Smith Prize !

Grounded tells the story of a F16 fighter pilot whose pregnancy ends her career in the sky. She gets re-assigned to maneuver drones from an air-conditioned trailer near Vegas. A tour de force play for one actress, Grounded flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence, targeting our assumptions about war, family, and the power of storytelling.

A TUCSON PASTORELA

MARIA’S CIRCULAR DANCE and TRASH

 

MARIA’S CIRCULAR DANCE

by Medardo Trevino  translated by Eva Tessler

               

Maria, a Colombian migrant, and Angelito, her kidnapper whirl into a dance where dream and reality, terror and courage, past and present dissolve as they recognize themselves in the face of each other.

 

TRASH

by Kara Hartzler

 

From the playwright of Arizona: No Roosters in the Desert, comes a companion play to Maria’s Circular Dance.  A U.S female Detention Center prison guard holds the fate of a male detainee in her hands.

BURNING PATIENCE

by Antonio Skarmeta
