Dreamers at Book-It Repertory Theatre

The Reader’s Theatre script will be in Spanish, English, and a bilingual version (pronunciation support video provided).

“Books became our language.
Books became our home.
Books became our lives.”

Yuyi and Kelly have arrived in El Paso, Texas from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Unable to understand and afraid to speak, they make a lot of mistakes. But one day mother and son come to a place that will change their lives forever—the spectacular public library! Realization and inspiration come through their daily trips to the library, leading to a library card for Kelly and authorship for Yuyi. Resilient dreamers of the world, Yuyi and Kelly brought their own strengths and hopes into a new country to build a better future.
