Alma

Welcome to the Dramaturgy website for the Chance Theater's 2024 production of Alma by Benjamin Benne, directed by Sara Guerrero.

​

This website includes all of the research Karli has done for the show, links to relevant videos, photos and other resources as well as a place for anyone on the team to submit dramaturgical questions they may have about the show.

​

​

Some of the topics and questions Karli is exploring include:

​

The Chicano Movement and Chicano Identity

History of Immigration in Anaheim and La Puente

The Complexity of Latinx Mother/Daughter Relationships

What did it mean to be undocumented in 2016?  What does it mean today?

What does the American Dream mean today, and who does it belong to?

How does immigration relate to our own communities and why is it essential to growth, community, love and the American Dream?

How is empathy not a feeling, but an action?

How can we call audience members to action with Alma and Angel's story?
