MiraCosta College Theatre

Thanks to all who joined us tonight for our end of year celebration! Over this next week, we will be sharing some of the videos made for the event. Let's start with our Awards opener!

We are so excited for this summer’s unique virtual offering. A summer audition intensive course jam packed with tips, tricks, and training! Geno Carr is an amazing acting teacher and every performer could benefit from learning more about auditions from him. Enroll now!! https://hub.miracosta.edu/schedule/index.aspx

A note from the director, Eric Bishop: This play was inspired by true-life event in May 2001 in which a smuggler abandoned 30 Mexicans crossing the desert near Yuma, Ariz., resulting in 14 deaths due to dehydration. It is my hope that this play will raise awareness of the plights of undocumented people, foster allyships, inspire advocacy, and promote active involvement with students from under-represented communities.
