You are invited to a?oeOn the Stagea?? presented by Iowa Dance Festival this Thursday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. Hurley & Dancers collaborated with the Heartland Marimba Ensemble this summer to create a new physically-distanced outdoor piece entitled a?oeMultiversesa??.

Spending her days caring for her ailing mother, Lucha yearns to break her monotonous routine. Here's a wild idea: an all-girl mariachi band! But it's the 1970s, and girls can't be mariachis...or can they? As Lucha and her spunky cousin hunt for bandmates, dodge disapproving relatives, and bring Mom along for the ride, they wonder: will the band come together? American Mariachi is a heartwarming and hilarious world premiere comedy about family, progress, and the freedom to dream big that will send your heart soaring and put a bounce in your step with a wave of vibrant, infectious live music.
