In two weeks, we will be seeing Ghosts of the River at Brava Theater Center. According to their site, Ghosts of the River incorporates actors, shadow puppets and music along with Octavio Solís' epic writing into a unique collection of vignettes of those who have encountered the Rio Grande throughout time: Mexican Revolution refugees fleeing from violence; families abandoned by coyotes; narcotic rivalries that strew the river with the dead; and Border Patrol agents who toil against the tide of immigration and personal conscience. Produced by San Francisco's ShadowLight Productions, Ghosts of the River shares the untold stories of both sides of the divide. This will be a bilingual play with Spanish/English translation provided through subtitles. To see more, visit this site.
