CSULB's Teatro Al Sur is a theatre group that is currently working on producing its first Spanish play. In the meantime, they are trying to fundraise in order to better finance the newly formed club.
TAS is having a fundraiser at Viento Y Agua Cafe and Gallery in order to raise funds for their upcoming productions. Members of TAS plan on performing Nueva Trova at the quaint cafe and essentially educate attendees on what the genre Nueva Trova is. This type of music originates from Cuba and is widely recognized for its political and progressive lyrics.
TAS is the first group of its kind. It aims to produce all Spanish productions and promote intercultural dialogue and understanding for CSULB students.
One production currently in the works is based off Argentinian playwright Arístides Vargas' prior work. It depicts issues of exile and immigration, which TAS believes will open up dialogue about these topics on campus.
The showcase begins on Sunday, April 19, at 5 p.m.
