Lydia

Authored by award-winning playwright Octavio Solis, Lydia is an intense, lyrical and magical new play set in the 1970s on the Texas border. The Flores family welcomes Lydia, an undocumented maid, into their El Paso home to care for their daughter Ceci, who was tragically disabled in a car accident on the eve of her quinceañera, her fifteenth birthday. Lydia’s immediate and seemingly miraculous bond with the girl sets the entire family on a mysterious and shocking journey of discovery. Lydia is an unflinching and deeply emotional portrait of a Chicano family caught in a web of dark secrets. Lydia is presented in collaboration with the AT&T Performing Arts Center’s Elevator Project.
