Cast Announced for Linda Ronstadt-Inspired Canciones

Radical Evolution, Latinx Playwrights Circle, the Sol Project, and Boundless Theatre Company have announced the full cast and design team for their world premiere of Canciones, an immersive site-specific experience presented at a private home in Flatbush, Brooklyn, May 2-24.

The cast will feature Mayelah Barrera, Johanna Carlisle-Zepeda, Kai An Chee, Cristina Contreras, Sara Ornelas, Chino Ramos, and Sammy Rivas. The creative team includes production designer Raul Abrego, sound designer Tye Hunt Fitzgerald, lighting designer María-Cristina Fusté, and costume designer Christopher Vergara.

Collaboratively created by Rebecca Martínez, Julián Mesri, Beto O’Byrne, Sara Ornelas, and Meropi Peponides, and inspired by the Linda Ronstadt album Canciones de mi Padre, Canciones is a site-specific party, an acoustic Mariachi jam, and a family reunion.

Three generations of the Guerrero family gather for a special family reunion and as the evening unfolds, secrets are unearthed, old rivalries are revived, and the family is forced to decide who will carry on their musical legacy. The performance includes a family-style dinner served in the middle of the show.
