WRITTEN BY DAVID MAMET; DIRECTED BY Malinda L. Beckman

When a prominent white businessman is charged with the sexual assault of a black woman, he employs a multicultural law firm to defend him. As the legal team examines the case, the evidence raises questions about the accused's firsthand account. How far will they go in defense of their client and the pursuit of actual justice?

An evening of three short plays by well-know Argentine playwrights Claudia Piñeiro & Claudio Regis!

Cuánto vale una heladera (How much is a refrigerator worth) : Written by Claudia Piñeiro, one of the most widely read authors in Argentina and worldwide, the work subtly addresses, through humor, the theme of reclaiming identity in a modern, globalized, and bureaucratic world.

Mesa de Saldos (Sale Table) by Claudio Regis: A man searches for books written and dedicated by hand by his deceased grandfather, whom he deeply admires. Claudio Regis easily captures our interest in participating in an intriguing everyday scene.

Verona by Claudia Piñeiro is a warm and amusing work about the complexity of love and sisterhood.Read more

A Tribute to Holda Zepeda: Pianist, Mentor & Visionary, As part of our Dia de los Muertos Series

Holda Maria Zepeda Novelo (Born November 4, 1924 in Merida, Yucatan and Died September 4, 1991 in Mexico City, Mexico) was a Juilliard Masters Graduate with dreams of pursing music and breaking the glass ceiling for other female artists. She was one of the first Mexican Females to play at Carnegie Hall which encouraged others to follow in her foot steps. Disciple of Manuel Barajas, she won several awards and recognitions including the University Prize in 1948 with MacDowell's Concerto, which she performed as a soloist with the Symphony Orchestra of the National University of Mexico. But it wasn't easy as she left everything behind, family, country and love, to pursue her one true love... Music.

To continue this Day of the Dead Series, we will honor the impact and mark she left in the Music World as well as for women musicians all over the world.Read more
