Postcards from the Border
artwork: Perfecto Creative
Oscar Cásares, an acclaimed novelist, wanted to share his experience of growing up on the border. He and visionary photographer Joel Salcido traveled the length of the Rio Grande to find these stories. Originally appearing in Texas Monthly, and now commissioned by Texas Performing Arts, those words and images are brought to life in a stage production with music composed by singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez. This is the story of the border you’ve never heard. World Premiere January 24th - 25th.
*Postcards From The Border was commissioned by and developed in residence at Texas Performing Arts at The University of Texas at Austin.
*Postcards From The Border was made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Theater Project, with lead funding from the Mellon Foundation and additional support from the Doris Duke Foundation.
