Brown Bag Theatre Company proudly presents Mojada, written by Luis Alfaro and directed by Eden Millis!

This play, a modern Latine spin on Euripides' Medea, centers on inner-city struggles of assimilation and immigration in the Latine community. In Mojada, Medea and Jason have escaped the worst. After a harrowing journey across the Mexican–American border, the couple has made it safely to the States, where they can work toward a better life for their family. While Jason is convinced the future looks bright, Medea fears a darker fate as they face the challenges of living without documentation. Blending Euripides' classic with Nahuatl folklore, Luis Alfaro examines the tragedy behind America's immigration system and the destiny of one family caught in its grip.

This production will be performed in The Little Theatre from May 26-28th and it's free entry (or pay what you can)! Thus, we hope you are able to attend and witness a wonderful, compelling, and modernized Latine portrayal of the Greek tragedy!

*Warning: This show is intended for a mature audience as it contains themes of sex, sexual assault, violence, and death.*
