Mixed Blood Theatre's “Minnecanos” Set for UMC October 16
In commemoration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, UMC Diversity Services, with the collaboration of Student Activities and Service Learning and Multicultural/International Programs, will bring Mixed Blood Theatre’s “Minnecanos” to UMC Thursday, October 16. The performance will begin at 5 p.m. in Brown Dining Room, Sahlstrom Conference Center. The performance is free and open to the public.
“Minnecanos” is
the story of four generations of family that also serves as a spirited
illumination of Mexican- American history. The play was written by Joe
Minjares and Thomas Benitez. The songs in the play are based largely on
Mexican traditions, particularly the traditions of the “corridor”—the
literal translation of which is “song.”
