Isabel Allende's novel is re-imagined for the stage. This play tells the coming-of-age story of EVA LUNA, a woman born into poverty who rises up through the world to find her voice as a storyteller and a reflector of history. Enchanting, comical, and sly, EVA LUNA follows the character's journey from childhood to adulthood, and along the way allows us to meet an array of characters that will change the course of Eva's life forever.

    This play is uncannily (and unfortunately) relevant given the United States' current political climate. Where are the storytellers in the revolution, and how do they help the revolution and carry on their legacies? This play shines a light on unique and diverse stories, but is sure to have something for your audience to connect with and discuss. Check it out!
