TCG's celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month continues with the highlight of our member theatre, Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA), and their production of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sánchez. The story follows Júlia, a Chicago high schooler who is definitely not your perfect Mexican daughter. That’s her older sister Olga’s role. But everything in Júlia’s life weighs heavier after Olga dies in a tragic accident, leaving Júlia to manage her family’s grief and unravel the secret truth — that her sister may not have been so perfect after all. Denver area folks, this show is one to catch before it closes on November 3rd, head to DCPA's website for more details and to buy your tickets! Production B-Roll provided by DCPA
