Register for the 2026 MACRI Symposium— MACRI's annual gathering of powerful Latino voices addressing pressing civil rights issues of our time.

This year’s symposium brings together an extraordinary lineup of Latino thought leaders—scholars, advocates, artists, and public servants—who will engage in timely conversations on representation, equity, prosperity, and the future of civil rights in America. While MACRI is rooted in history, this signature event is where history meets the present—connecting past struggles to today’s most urgent challenges.

This event is free with tiered VIP and sponsorship options available.

STAYIN’ ALIVE offers to their audiences the songs and sights of a full Bee Gees playlist, singing blockbusters such as “Night Fever”, “Jive Talkin’”, “How Deep Is Your Love”, “You Should Be Dancing”, “Nights on Broadway” and “Stayin’ Alive”. In addition, they perform softer poetic ballads such as “I Started a Joke”, “Massachusetts”, “Fanny Be Tender”, “Words” and “To Love Somebody” among other great hits.

Helen Wheeler is a gun totin’ and whiskey drinking Granny, living in the small town of Crockett, Oklahoma. When Helen isn’t locked up in the local clink, she’s on her front porch shootin’ up critters and the local kids. Not even the local sheriff, who has already taken away all of her ammo and her driver’s license, can manage to uphold the law when it comes to Helen, her sidekick Zona, and their daily “Thelma and Louise” antics. Helen’s son Nelson thinks it’s time for Mama to move out of Crockett and closer to him.
