Photo Flash: First Look at University of Texas at Austin's ESPERANZA RISING
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance presents the beloved children's story Esperanza Rising, now through October 12 at the B. Iden Payne Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!
Tragedy strikes and Esperanza, a young, privileged girl living in Mexico, is forced to flee to California. Working in a migrant labor camp during the Great Depression, Esperanza must overcome adversity and find unexpected inner strength. Adapted from Pam Muñoz Ryan's award-winning book, this coming-of-age story shares an inspiring message of hope for all audiences. The show runs October 3 - 12, 2014. Performance times are October 3, 9-11, 7:30 p.m. and October 5, 11-12 at 2:00 p.m. at B. Iden Payne Theatre (300 E. 23rd St.), located in the F. Loren Winship Drama Building. A map of the campus: utexas.edu/finearts/tad/season-tickets/map-directions-parking.Tickets ($25 adults, $20 UT faculty & staff, $15 student) are now on sale at authorized ticket outlets, which include the Bass Concert Hall Box Office, most H-E-B stores and all Texas Box Office outlets, online at JoinTheDrama.org, or by calling (512) 477-6060 or (800) 982-BEVO.
