"Every little girl and boy should have big dreams. If a young migrant farmworker can tell his father that someday he will learn to fly, be an astronaut and touch the stars in the sky; then the message to our audience is to believe anything is possible. Listen to your heart and reach for the stars!" - Mickey Nugent


This is one family's story of determination and destiny, and a boy who sets out to achieve the impossible. Pepito is the son migrant farmworkers who travel back and forth between California and Mexico each year to earn a living. He struggles in school because he had difficulty understanding English. Always moving to different schools made it hard to make friends. Then one day Pepito watched the Apollo 11 land on the moon and he decided that he wanted to be an astronaut.

Meet the playwright José Cruz González after the Sat., Sept. 23, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. performances.

A limited number of seats are still available for the 10 a.m. school matinee performances on Sept. 27. Call 206-6986 for reservations. Tickets $5.
