    Funny, steeped in cultural and generational specifics, and holding an authenticity of language that would sing in a production, DuPrey has put together a compelling look at what progress looks like coupled with the power of past magic. BRUJAJA is a great ride.

    Set in La Doña, a botanica or shop for alternative medicine and practices, this script is an elegant story of modern America with deep, multicultural roots. "You cannot pretend to know all the answers," says the mother to the daughter, and it is an important lesson. As DuPrey's brief play reminds us, we cannot ultimately hold back change, but that we have each other to guide us through difficult times. Highly recommended.
