Fade by Tanya Saracho

Presented by Unexpected Stage Company at River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation

A few years after the publication of her hit debut novel, Lucia lands her first TV writing job at a cutthroat network studio,  where she struggles to find her place on the white male-dominated set. She and the only other Latinx employee there, a janitor named Abel, become close quickly even as they wrangle over differing points of view. But as Abel shares his stories with Lucia, similar plots begin to find their way into the TV scripts that Lucia writes. Infused with humor and a sharp insight, Fade explores class and race within the Mexican and Mexican-American communities, and asks whether status can change who you are at your core.

Written by Tanya Saracho, directed by Dylan Arredondo, featuring Michael Burgos and Camila Calderon.

Audience members will be required to wear masks in the theater regardless of vaccination status. We recommend that everyone attending have their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Please note: Fade contains strong language/themes. If you should have any questions, please call or email -- we're happy to answer them.
