Thanks to our friends at the Magik Theatre, my boys and I recently saw the amazing performance of Mariachi Girl. It is truly a celebration of family and cultura – our Mexican-American culture.
Mariachi Girl is an uplifting bilingual production about reaching for your dreams. The storyline follows the story of ten-year-old Carmencita, who dreams of being a mariachi singer. Her ultimate dream is to one day join in performing with her father. However, her father clings to a long-held family tradition of male-only mariachis. When Carmencita’s teacher offers her a book about a female mariachi, everything changes for “Cita.” She sees a possibility of her dream becoming a reality. Can she celebrate her own heritage and expand her father’s view of the world?
This production is filled with vibrant original mariachi music performed live by Mariachi de Azteca de America. Mariachi Girl is written by Roxanne Schroeder-Arce with music and lyrics by Héctor Martinez Morales.
