Teatro Aurora is jumping inside the perimeter for the ultimate immersive theater experience!

Aurora Theatre is heading into Atlanta for an immersive viewer-based entertainment experience taken straight out of Latin America! Teatro Aurora and Latinas Who Lead in Media Atlanta have teamed up to present the Festival de MicroTeatro: El Sueño Americano (The American Dream). During this Georgia debut, taking place March 21-30, adult audiences are able to create a personalized theater experience in a nontraditional setting, by selecting from a series of fifteen-minute plays running concurrently throughout the evening on location at Northeast Plaza while sampling bites from Latin cuisine and soaking in cultural fun. Audiences will have the following five different short, mini-plays to experience in any order, each hosted in an intimate and non-traditional theater space:
 

• Colombian Dreams written and directed by Irma Cristancho
  In this comedic one-woman play, a Columbian immigrant shares her dreams of becoming a bonafide American as she aches at how to achieve her dream by dating her way to America!
   
• A Volunteer by Marian Licha
  Directed by Sharon Estela
  Lilian is seeking help to gain her American citizenship when she meets Cecilia, a volunteer translator, who quickly discovers Lilian has bigger problems to tackle. Her two children are sick, and if Lilian gets deported before finishing her naturalization process, the kids will need a caretaker. What’s a volunteer to do?
   
• No More Maids by Anne García-Romero
  Directed by Denise Arribas
  Two Latina actors meet as they prepare to audition for roles as maids on a new television comedy. Together, they fantasize about roles as biologists or nineteenth-century poets – anything but maids! When they learn the casting associate is also Latina, the three devise a game-changing plan.
   
• Not Like Us by Desi Moreno-Penson & Noemi de la Puente
  Directed by Michelle Rivera-Huckaby
  Cosita Una and Cosita Dos are both educated, entitled and elitist Latinas. While conducting interviews for their next big protest with would-be “organizers” Harriet Tubman, Kellyanne Conway and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, they find all of them to be lacking in some aspect. The two Cositas learn the value of respecting other people’s opinions and about friendship in this insightful skit!
   
• To Build A Home by Sofia Palmero
  Directed by Ricardo Aponte 
  The very same fateful day that Adriana hopes to become an American citizen, she meets Margarita – a woman requesting her green card. Adriana quickly discovers that not everything is black and white while Margarita begins to heal the wounds of exile.
