Teatro Audaz presents...

Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles by Luis Alfaro
Directed by Laura T. Garza
Associate Director: Jillian Campos

Inspired by Euripides’ Medea, Mojada is a powerful and heart-wrenching reimagining of the Greek tragedy, set in modern-day America. Luis Alfaro masterfully blends ancient myth with contemporary struggles, telling the story of an immigrant family’s journey to the United States and the sacrifices they must make to survive.
Through this production, we continue our mission of reclaiming and reshaping classic stories to reflect the realities of our community. Mojada speaks to themes of displacement, resilience, and the cost of the American Dream—all through the lens of a Latina protagonist fighting for her family’s future.
This play is raw, emotional, and deeply relevant, and we are honored to bring it to the stage.

Making bodies move and lifting spirits, the group bob and weave between soul, indie, and pop with passion, panache, and purpose, pushing boundaries at every turn. Now, Fitz and The Tantrums ignite their next chapter with the smoky and swaggering single “Ruin The Night” and massive 2025 Man On The Moon Tour across North America, setting the stage for much more to come.

Emotions at Play with Pixar's Inside Out, the first interactive exhibit based on the award-winning Disney and Pixar film, helps visitors - young and old - understand the important role emotions, memory and imagination play in our everyday lives. Focusing on the five core emotions featured in the film - Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear - hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit offer opportunities to explore some of the ways we express our emotions - and recognize emotions in others, too.

Ruby City proudly presents Synthesis & Subversion Redux, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of Frances Jean Colpitt and the evolving conversation around Latinx art. This new exhibition revisits Colpitt’s groundbreaking 1996 show, Synthesis and Subversion: A Latino Direction in San Antonio Art, and its influence on contemporary art practices today.
In 1996, Colpitt brought together a group of San Antonio-based artists—Jesse Amado, David Padilla Cabrera, Alejandro Diaz, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Ana de Portela, and Chuck Ramirez—who explored identity, abstraction, and the everyday through conceptual approaches. The exhibition challenged norms and sparked critical debate, becoming a pivotal moment in San Antonio’s art history.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Redux builds on Colpitt’s vision while reflecting the profound changes in the art world since then. Curated by two Latinas in leadership roles at major institutions, Ruby City Director, Elyse A. Gonzales, and Curator of Latinx Art at the McNay Art Museum, Mia Lopez, Redux showcases the work of five contemporary artists: Juan Carlos Escobedo, Jenelle Esparza, Bárbara Miñarro, Angeles Salinas, and José Villalobos. These artists bring fresh perspectives to themes of identity, memory, and culture, often through craft-informed practices that incorporate textiles, personal history, and connections to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The exhibition will be on view from February 15, 2024 through September 28, 2025 at Studio, located inside Chris Park (111 Camp Street).
