California Scenarios
by José Cruz González, Octavio Solis, Luis Alfaro, Anne Garcia-Romero, Joann Farias, Rick Coca

Rich in history, fantasy, triumph, and longing, this collection of short plays captures aspects of Latinos in California, from a group of women waiting in the night to be swept away by their bandit-boyfriend ( Desert Longing or Las Aventureras by Anne Garcia-Romero), to a young monk who finds introspection in the form of a skeleton ( The Seven Visions of Encarnacion by Octavio Solis).

Inspired by Isamu Noguchi's sculpture garden “California Scenario,” each play reveals a complex view of the California landscape as it has never been seen before.
