We are delighted to announce that our director, Barbara Fuchs, will be sharing her family-friendly adaptation of Fuente Ovejuna as part of the Folger’s Reading Room Festival on January 24th at 11:30 am. This adaptation invites young audiences to imagine solidarity in the face of tyranny while crafting and making music. Before the reading, there will be a hands-on workshop for the audience to create the props to be used in the play. Admission is free for children under 12 and students with ID, $20 admission for others.

That afternoon, Barbara Fuchs and Laura Muñoz, a founding member of Diversifying the Classics, will participate in a panel about the group’s mission to promote early modern Spanish-language drama, related dramaturgical work, and our adaptation initiative Golden Tongues. This panel will be moderated by director Kelsey Mesa.
