American Mariachi

By José Cruz González

A hilarious and heartwarming new music-filled comedy about the freedom to dream big. It’s the 1970s\, and Lucha spends her days caring for her ailing mother\, but longs to shake up her life. When a forgotten record album sparks her mother’s memory\, Lucha and her cousin strike upon a radical idea: to create an all-female mariachi band. Infused with live music played by a live mariachi band\, this “big-hearted\, musical tug at the heartstrings” (Denver Post) reminds us how music and love can make just about anything possible.
