Central in the Chicago suburb of Cicero. This documentary-style play follows four Latina teenage girls in Denver–two of whom are documented and two who are not–through young adulthood. Their close-knit friendships begin to unravel when immigration status dictates the girls’ opportunities, or lack thereof. The show’s lighting designer is Columbia College alum Conchita Avitia ’18, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Theatre Design. For tickets, click here.
