Goodman Theatre presents “American Mariachi.”

A Co-Production with Dallas Theater Center
Produced in association with Teatro Vista.

Presented in collaboration with the Chicago Latino Theater Alliance and Sones de México Ensemble.

Familia, amor and tradición—and breaking it—are at the heart of this “big-hearted musical tug at the heartstrings” (Denver Post).

Lucha spends her days caring for her ailing mother, but longs to shake up her 1970s home life. When a forgotten record album sparks her mother’s memory, Lucha and her cousin strike upon a radical idea: to create an all-female mariachi band. Infused with live mariachi music, this “big-hearted, musical tug at the heartstrings” (Denver Post) reveals how music and love can make just about anything possible.

Performances begin September 18 and run through October 24. Single tickets available soon, but you can buy them now by purchasing a 5 play Classic Albert Series subscription. Information at https://www.goodmantheatre.org/season/2122-Season/American-Mariachi/
