El, a play by Raul Garza
Emi just wants to be a writer - a writer who tells truths, shatters myths, and rips the lid off her immigrant family's generations-old secrets. Stifled by an overprotective Mom, Clara, and an underproductive brother, Gus, Emi dreams of escaping the confines of the familys crowded brownstone in Logan Square.
A daring relationship with an exotically-stable intellectual, who steps gracefully off the nearby El Train and into her life, ignites Emis artistic passion. She revels in the success of a revealing but unflattering short story based on her family, even at the cost of her most treasured relationships. Meanwhile, Gus confronts his own demons with the aid of a metaphysical cow head, and Clara reluctantly searches for fulfillment in her adopted homeland.
"El" depicts the human cost of telling our realities, all the while asking, What makes a story matter? and Whose story is it?
Directed by Christina J. Moore, the all-star cast is comprised of Gricelda Silva, Jesus Valles, Mary Alice Carnes, Rupert Reyes, Roxy Becker, and Nathanael Dunaway.'
