American Mariachi, a moving comedy full of humor, heart, and joyful live music, written by José Cruz González, directed by James Vásquez, arrangements by Cynthia Reifler Flores runs September 28 to October 20, in the Joan and Robert Rechnitz Theater.
In conjunction with American Mariachi, Two River has curated an exciting lineup of events, many of them FREE, inspired by American Mariachi for all to enjoy.
“Music, family, and joy, that’s what it’s all about,” says Artistic Director Justin Waldman. “What Jose and James have built with American Mariachi is an utter delight. As the guitarron strums, the trumpet blares, and the band comes together, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear.”
The full event lineup includes:
