Winding Road's On the Stage Page
This Romeo and Juliet story is set in the pecan groves of Southern Arizona. As school principal Amalia writes her memoir, she peels away the layers of the onion of her own heart as she struggles to define her responsibility to her community, her undocumented field workers, and to her heritage, as well has her complicity in tragedy.
Winding Road is thrilled to be a founding theater of Romerofest, a month-long celebration of the works of local playwright Elaine Romero. In the month of March, fifteen theaters, located throughout the United States and Mexico, are mounting productions or readings of one of Ms. Romero's scripts.
Our contribution, a live reading of her borderland romance Wetback, will play one night only, streaming live on March 15th, at 7:00p (MST). Tickets are $10.
This production of Wetback is a collaboration between Winding Road Theater Ensemble and Arizona Theatre Company, directed by ATC's Artistic Director, Sean Daniels. The long-term development of Wetback occurred at Voice & Vision Envision Retreat, Arkansas Repertory Theatre, Cal State Dominguez Hills (LA), Chicago Dramatists, Arizona Theatre Company, and in New York at Urban Stages, Queens Theatre in the Park, Dramatic Question Theatre, and the Lark New Play Development Center. The play was developed in Chicago and NY by Jacob Padrón.
