NORTHSIDE
THE PLAY
At Su Teatro
|
Running now and will be adding more shows in July, NORTHSIDE, by LCAC Advisory Council Member Bobby Lefebre, tells the story of a young-professional Latinx couple looking to buy a home in their rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. As the story unfolds, we learn valuable lessons about the spirit of the neighborhood, dynamics of neighborhood change, and the innate human need to belong somewhere.
