On the Fyda-Mar Stage… 

The students at Cal. State San Marita want to take on big-money developers. They ask their political philosophy professor to run for office, after all, he seems to know about grassroots empowerment. Powered by Grandma’s tamales and books by Paulo Freire and Gloria Anzaldúa, they find a winning message about community when the community is patchwork of different ethnicities and blended races. But getting a foothold only turns up the pressure. Will they play ball with the bare-knuckled Governor? Is grandma right about Brenda’s good-looking but overly-ambitious boyfriend? Is winning everything, or just better than losing? What happened to all those ideas in Pedagogy of the Oppressed? Maybe the bottom-line political question isn’t how to win, but how to change the game.

Audience Buzz

    1. I loved this show. The musical tells the story of idealistic college students supporting a political candidate advocating for positive change and touches on many contemporary social and political issues. It’s hilarious, also with touching and sad moments. I laughed, cried, left inspired, and wished I had the cast recording to listen to on my car ride home. Bravo!
