Highway 47

Directed by KJ Sanchez

Family, Community and the Importance of Place

An immensely entertaining storyteller, Sanchez spins a true tale of tangled history in the high desert town where her family was among the original settlers under the Spanish Land Grants of 1734. Almost 300 years later, the community devolved into a maelstrom of disputed land rights and lawsuits with her father playing a prominent role.

Age Recommendation

This performance is deeply personal and human and will be best appreciated by patrons ages 14 and up.

“A tour de force performer and powerful writer”
