SUMMARY:Las Comadres de Morales St. Written by Irene Chavez
DESCRIPTION:The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is bringing back the hi
 t play “Las Comadres de Morales St.” for a limited run at the SAY 
 Sí Black Box Theater\, 1310 Brazos St. San Antonio\, TX 78207\, Thurs
 day through Saturday\, November 12–21\, at 8pm and Sundays November 
 15 and 22 at 3pm. General admission tickets are $15 and available at 
 www.guadalupeculturalarts.org\n \nWritten by San Antonio playwright\,
  poet\, and actor Irene Chavez\, “Las Comadres de Morales St.” ret
 urns after a hugely successful premiere that moved and energized local
  audiences. Set in San Antonio’s Westside\, the play follows a tight
 -knit group of neighbors whose lives are intertwined by friendship\, f
 amily\, and the everyday fight to hold on to their community. With hum
 or\, heart\, and honesty\, the story tackles Covid\, gentrification\, 
 and years of disinvestment\, while centering on the strength of elders
 \, comadres\, and familia.\n \nDirector Ruby Ruiz is thrilled to welc
 ome audiences back. “We’ve brought together an incredible cast and
  production team\, and I’m so excited to bring this show back to the
  community that showed it so much love the first time around\,” she 
 says.\n \nChavez\, whose work has been featured at Seniors in Play\, 
 Jump-Start Theater and the historic Guadalupe Theater in productions l
 ike “Chato’s Bridge” and “Petra’s Pecado\,” blends her art
 istic background with an MBA from St. Mary’s University to tell stor
 ies that are both grounded and deeply affecting. “I’m grateful to 
 the Guadalupe for this opportunity to elevate the stories of our elder
 s and celebrate community\,” Chavez says. "The play is my love lette
 r to the Westside\," said Chavez. "While working with Seniors in Play\
 , I was inspired by our elder's stories of resilience and so "Las Coma
 dres" was born." \n \nJorge Piña\, director of the Guadalupe’s Th
 eater Arts Program\, adds\, “Irene’s voice is vital in today’s l
 andscape. ‘Las Comadres de Morales St.’ invites us to reflect on o
 ur shared humanity while honoring the beauty\, humor\, and struggle th
 at define our neighborhoods.”\n \nBecause the historic Guadalupe Th
 eater is temporarily closed for major renovations\, this remount will 
 take place at the SAY Sí Black Box Theater on the Westside\, keeping 
 the show close to the community that inspired it.\n \nA reception hon
 oring the playwright\, director\, and cast members will follow the ope
 ning performance.\n \nThis production of Las Comadres de Morales St. 
 is made possible in part through the generous support of the City of S
 an Antonio Department of Arts and Culture\, San Antonio Area Foundatio
 n and Texas Commission on the Arts.
