A Mexican Trilogy is in fact an American story that follows the Morales family over the span of 100 years to highlight the Latina/o experience in the U.S. Employing music to evoke eras and moods, the three parts of this play—Faith, Hope, and Charity—paint a canvas of universal family struggle that eloquently explores the eternal sense of belonging we all crave: to family, to culture, to country. Staged as an ambitious five-hour experience with a meal break, patrons also have the flexibility to view it in two parts. – Winner of the L.A. Drama Critics Circle Award and published by Samuel French.
