Borderlands Theater's 2017-18 Season

Subject: Announcing Borderlands Theater's 2017-18 Season
Borderlands Theater
2017-18 Season!
Casa Cordova Celebration!
Announcing our 2017-18 Season!
Borderlands Theater's 32nd season, third under Artistic Director Marc David Pinate, presents a five-play line up including two National New Play Network Rolling World premieres and Tucson favorite, the community-based Barrio Stories Project, this time honoring Barrio Anita. We're particularly proud of this season's curation and sincerely hope you enjoy experiencing each of these productions.
The 2017-2018 season wrestles with conventionality. Sometimes the plays thrust us deep into the darkness, other times driving us toward a deeper understanding of our world. A few give us a chance to pay homage to our history. How do we move forward with our
changing world, hold on to our moral compass and maintain our humanity?

Building the Wall
Written by Robert Schenkkan
Directed by Marc David Pinate
Temple of Music and Art Cabaret Theater
September 27 - October 15, 2017
NNPN Rolling World Premiere
of Building the Wall -
The newest play by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright
Robert Schenkkan (The Kentucky Cycle,
All the Way, Hacksaw Ridge), directed by Marc David Pinate. It's the very near future, and the Trump administration has carried out his campaign promise to round up and detain millions of immigrants. A writer interviews the supervisor of a private prison as he awaits sentencing for carrying out the federal policy that has escalated into the unimaginable. This riveting, harrowing and illuminating drama delivers a powerful warning and puts a human face on the inhuman, revealing how when personal accountability is denied, what seems inconceivable becomes inevitable.
Building the Wall will be produced at Borderlands Theater as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other partnering theaters are The Fountain Theatre (CA), City Theatre (FL), Curious Theatre (CO), and Forum Theatre (DC), with support from Paul Prokop. For more information please visit nnpn.org.
A Tucson Pastorela
Written by Milta Ortiz and the Ghosts Writers
Directed by Marc David Pinate
Location TBD
Dec 14 - Dec 17, 2017
Come be merry with this family friendly holiday tradition! Shepherds make the harrowing journey to find el baby Jesus. Generously infused with farcical satire lampooning 2017's biggest political and pop cultural events.

Latin Standards
Written and Performed by Marga Gomez
Directed by David Schweizer
Location TBD
February 15 - 18, 2018
In Latin Standards an adult child of a Cuban entertainer defies reason, attempting to honor her macho immigrant dad by launching a hipster comedy night at the struggling but legendary San Francisco Latino drag club, Esta Noche. "Latin Standards" is a hybrid of stand-up and poignant autobiography peppered with unforgettable characters and physicality and commentary on displacement and resilience. Marga revisits the triumphs and demons of her father Willy Chevalier: comedian, producer, songwriter, Cafe El Pico spokesperson, and prominent figure in the golden era of New York's Latino variety shows. It's an energetic, funny and poignant story of perseverance and creative addiction passed down from immigrant father to lesbian daughter.
Latin Standards has been workshopped in 2016 in New York at Dixon Place and in San Francisco/Bay Area at "One For All Festival" at Douglas Morrison Theater Hayward, Art Saves Lives Gallery on Castro, Lunada at Galeria De La Raza, The Marsh, Brian Copeland's Best Of Solo San Francisco Series, Solo Sundays at StageWerx and Sparkarts Gallery.
The Mermaid Hour
Written by David Valdes Greenwood
Directed by TBD
Temple of Music and Art Cabaret Theater
March 15-April 1, 2018
NNPN Rolling World Premiere of The Mermaid Hour- For Pilar and Bird, navigating their tween daughter Violet's transition is tricky as they juggle not only their own opposing parenting styles but her impulsive nature. Vi is just as concerned about her best friend Jacob, who she wishes was her boyfriend, and when nothing is going as she wants, she makes a YouTube video that pushes everyone's buttons. As her parents wrestle with all of Vi's choices, they confront the gaps between them as a couple--and which they'll have to overcome to see them all through.
The Mermaid Hour will be produced at Borderlands Theater as a part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other partnering theaters are Miracle Theater Group and Actors Theatre of Charlotte.
COMMUNITY BASED EVENT:
Barrio Anita: A Barrio Stories Project
