Join us the last Saturday of every month as we read our way through the stacks of the library! Each month we read a book from a different genre and meet on the 2nd floor of the Central library to discuss our thoughts with our fellow book lovers. This month’s genre is Cozy Mystery, and our selection is Mother-Daughter Murder Night By Nina Simon. Through The Stacks Book Club is a fun, relaxed space and finishing the book is definitely not required. All adults welcome!

We meet this month August 30th!

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.
