[Uopatos] Fiesta Cultural--Celebrating Latinx Arts & Culture in Lane County

Wed Sep 12 18:26:56 PDT 2018

I would like to invite all to* Now, I am Your Neighbor, *a theatrical
production about immigrants in Lane County, based on true stories. Friday,
September 14, Saturday Sept.15, and Sunday September 16 at the Very Little
Theatre, and Thrusday September 20th at the Wildish Theatre.  See Flyer for
info.  Free tickets at VLT and $2 donation at Wildish. All donations go to
the Community Alliance of Lane County to help with their social justice and
immigration work.

We need a good turn out. I will be reading the part of a Chilean immigrant.
Also, see this week's Eugene Weekly for an interview with the real Chilean
family portrayed in the production.

Nos vemos.
