Pachanga!! Tickets On Sale Now!
It's that time of year again, when the beautiful and unique Tucson community comes together to celebrate and support Borderlands Theater's work at our annual Pachanga celebration. There's much to celebrate with the move to our new offices at the Sosa Carrillo Fremont house, the completion of our first video documentary about Barrio Stories, and, speaking of, the on-going work we've been doing in Barrio Anita as part of the second phase of Barrio Stories.
On a more practical note, the funds we raise at the Pachanga support a variety of free events and services. Last season we ran an after school workshop with Tucson High's drama students, three hours a day, five days a week for seven weeks all for free. For our production of Shooting Columbus last April, we gave away twenty percent of each night's tickets to indigenous identified audience members. We are currently offering free art workshops for Barrio Anita residents at Oury Recreation Center as part of a year of free art workshops and capacity building events associated with the Barrio Stories Project.
There are still tickets left. Join us for a party under the stars and a great cause.
Good food, good folks, great cause

Popol Vuh at Pima College!
Originally created by Kinan and Lakin Valdez
for El Teatro Campesino.
Directed by Marc David Pinate.
November 9-19
Center for the Arts Black Box Theatre

This exciting, fantastical production recreates the Mayan creation myth adapted from the sacred Mayan text, "Popol Vuh," incorporating large-scale puppetry, spectacular masks, a fusion of pre-Columbian and modern music, and dance. The Mayan hero twins are summoned by the creators of the world to deal with the false and corrupt Seven Macaw, who holds dominion over the Earth. Through stealth and trickery, the shape-shifter twins are able to outsmart the corrupt ruler with their powerful artistry. The story is symbolic and politically relevant for today's culture.
