A Girl Grows Wings at Los Angeles Theatre Center

Latino Theater Company and Mexico’s Organización Secreta Teatro presents the poignant story of one girl’s journey as she navigates the fallout her undocumented status inflicts on her hopes and dreams. Fleeing violence in their home country, Alma’s parents cross the border when she is just an infant. At the age of 18, Alma begins to navigate the world of possibility in the only country she’s ever called home. However, learning of her status presents new challenges and betrayals. Alma goes on a journey to reconnect with her fractured cultural identity and her familial roots. Triumphing over adversity, she grows her wings in a touchingly beautiful and imaginative style.
