Field Trips | Filament Theatre

LUNA

Tuesdays from Sept 24 – Oct 29, 2019
Grade Recommendation: PreK – 5th

Soledad is the child of migrant farm workers. She loves the universe. And she loves her family. Soledad goes where her family goes, where the crops will grow. With every move comes a new school and the struggle to make new friends. The imaginative Soledad finds solace in books, and in her constant companion Luna — the moon — who follows her wherever she goes. When Soledad meets Frida and Emilio, she finds her first chance at human friends her own age. She must challenge the world she knows and discover that “Taking risks is hard to do, but taking risks builds courage too.”

In this newly imagined production, director Alejandro Tey and his team take families on an interactive journey on a search for friendship and belonging.
