Mucho Machismo y Pocos Machos Dance Event: September 12-14, 2025

The work is structured like a traditional romantic dramedy—boy meets boy, boy falls in love with boy, boy loses self, boy loses boy (but finds himself)—and takes place in the folklorico community, where normative masculinity continues to be performed and policed. Buy your tickets and join them Friday and Saturday at 9pm and Sunday at 4pm. |
