Photo Flash: Meet Avila Family - Protagonists of 1070 'We were strangers once, too'
"1070", a new play by James Garcia, premieres at the Herberger Theater Center on June 23 with performances running through July 9th. Tickets are $15 - $25 and are on sale now at herbergertheater.org.
In this full-length drama, Dulce Avila and her family faces life after the passage of the passage of Arizona's Senate Bill 1070.
"Ultimately, immigration is about the people it affects, and regrettably that's often when folks start arguing over the topic," said Garcia. "The play explores the consequences the law had on one family, as well as the wider community, including what happened in political and economic circles. I think most people today agree that SB 1070 put Arizona on the map for all the wrong reasons, and we're still recovering from the black eye it left on our state's reputation."
