SUMMARY:Las Comadres de Morales St. Written by Irene Chavez
DESCRIPTION:The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is bringing back the hit pla
 y “Las Comadres de Morales St.” for a limited run at the SAY Sí Black
  Box Theater\, 1310 Brazos St. San Antonio\, TX 78207\, Thursday through S
 aturday\, November 12–21\, at 8pm and Sundays November 15 and 22 at 3pm.
  General admission tickets are $15 and available at www.guadalupeculturala
 rts.org Written by San Antonio playwright\, poet\, and actor Irene Chavez\
 , “Las Comadres de Morales St.” returns after a hugely successful prem
 iere that moved and energized local audiences. Set in San Antonio’s West
 side\, the play follows a tight-knit group of neighbors whose lives are in
 tertwined by friendship\, family\, and the everyday fight to hold on to th
 eir community. With humor\, heart\, and honesty\, the story tackles Covid\
 , gentrification\, and years of disinvestment\, while centering on the str
 ength of elders\, comadres\, and familia. Director Ruby Ruiz is thrilled t
 o welcome audiences back. “We’ve brought together an incredible cast a
 nd production team\, and I’m so excited to bring this show back to the c
 ommunity that showed it so much love the first time around\,” she says. 
 Chavez\, whose work has been featured at Seniors in Play\, Jump-Start Thea
 ter and the historic Guadalupe Theater in productions like “Chato’s Br
 idge” and “Petra’s Pecado\,” blends her artistic background with a
 n MBA from St. Mary’s University to tell stories that are both grounded 
 and deeply affecting. “I’m grateful to the Guadalupe for this opportun
 ity to elevate the stories of our elders and celebrate community\,” Chav
 ez says. "The play is my love letter to the Westside\," said Chavez. "Whil
 e working with Seniors in Play\, I was inspired by our elder's stories of 
 resilience and so "Las Comadres" was born." Jorge Piña\, director of the 
 Guadalupe’s Theater Arts Program\, adds\, “Irene’s voice is vital in
  today’s landscape. ‘Las Comadres de Morales St.’ invites us to refl
 ect on our shared humanity while honoring the beauty\, humor\, and struggl
 e that define our neighborhoods.” Because the historic Guadalupe Theater
  is temporarily closed for major renovations\, this remount will take plac
 e at the SAY Sí Black Box Theater on the Westside\, keeping the show clos
 e to the community that inspired it. A reception honoring the playwright\,
  director\, and cast members will follow the opening performance. This pro
 duction of Las Comadres de Morales St. is made possible in part through th
 e generous support of the City of San Antonio Department of Arts and Cultu
 re\, San Antonio Area Foundation and Texas Commission on the Arts.\n\nhttp
