Overview
Lucha spends her days caring for her ailing mother, but longs for something more. When a forgotten record album sparks her mother’s memory, Lucha and her cousin strike upon a radical idea to defy social norms and create an all-female mariachi band. But it’s the 1970s, girls can’t be mariachis…or can they? Infused with vibrant, infectious live mariachi music, this regional premiere of American Mariachi is a “big-hearted, musical tug at the heartstrings” (Denver Post) that reminds us how the power of music and love can help overcome obstacles and make the seemingly impossible come true.
OCP will host an audio-described performances of American Mariachi on Saturday, May 10 at 7:30 p.m. for those who are blind or visually impaired. Please contact the OCP Box Office at (402) 553-0800 for additional information.
