"American Sueño"

Seeking a new life in America, Augustín Obrero, a musician, and his sister Monica, struggle between living with their family traditions and searching for new lives of their own; Mimi, a drag performer, yearns to find true love, regardless of her gender identity; and the homeless Cruz, a mere shadow of a woman she once was, searches for a way off the streets. To realize their dreams, they each must decide, “What am I willing to sacrifice in order to make my American Dream a reality?” A Teatro Milagro original bilingual production Created by Rebecca Martínez and Dañel Malán with music by Joaquín López.
