About Café Bohemia

Café Bohemia, a season of play readings, jams and ideas, features diverse new works from bold and inventive

playwrights. Tucson audiences are invited to enter the dramatic process at its inception, being among the first people in the world to hear these stories come to life and investing in the future of the American theatre by starting relationships with new playwrights and new audiences.

Wetback

by Elaine Romero

The Minuteman Militia hold political rallies in the park, heightening the tension on the U.S./Mexican border. Wetback charts the intertwined fates of a privileged Latina high school principal, a Chicana activist journalist, and a Mexican undocumented worker. As the irrevocable consequences of the actions of the two women spin out of control, they find themselves grappling with their relationship to their cultural heritage for very different reasons

 

"Café Bohemia is a space for hearing new voices, sharing ideas and asking questions," says ATC Associate Artistic Director Stephen Wrentmore. "It partners and reflects our mainstage season, but also offers an opportunity for us to spotlight a new generation of artists with our audiences. In the relaxed environment of The Temple Lounge, we get to hear readings of six new plays and share our response. What I love is the transparency of process and the excitement of creating a play-jam. It offers a rough-and-ready authentic response to a play by a group of talented actors who are responding, like a jam session, to the play as they read it. And with the continued commitment of ATC in supporting the Latino Playwriting Award and the Arizona Playwriting Award, these works could become nationally significant over time.'
