Sad I don’t have the cast to do this, but perhaps in the future. The refuge story, La Llorona, personal journey? It all works!

Full Length Comedy ~ Drama / Bocon, a fable filled with humor and mysticism and song, tells the story of twelve year old Miguel who flees a repressive military regime in Central America for Los Angeles. A natural storyteller and irrepressible big mouth or bocon, Miguel loses his voice when his parents are taken and begins a metaphorical journey north to the City of Angels. Along the way he meets up with an unusual traveling companion, La Llorona, the legendary Weeping Woman of Mexican and Central American mythology. Through their magical friendship, Miguel finds his voice and the courage to cross the border to a new life. Miguel's story is relevant to immigrant children from all parts of the world and to any child who is learning the many meanings of finding one's own voice. ( 6 actors, with doubling)

This is a lovely one act play with the theme of immigration, losing and finding one's voice and the journey of young adulthood. This play beautifully combines magic realism, folk tales and Spanish to tell Miguel's story.

One of my favorite scripts.
“Who can live without a voice in this world” is a powerful line that lives rent free in my head.
