House on Mango Street











In collaboration with Pangea World Theater, Teatro is bringing The House on Mango Street to the Twin Cities. Adapted from the beloved coming-of-age novel written by Sandra Cisneros. The House on Mango Street is the story of a young girl growing up in Chicago who struggles with wanting to leave her Latino neighborhood and hold onto her identity as a Mexican-American woman.

The Play beautifully captures the moving story of the book while transforming it for the stage in a series of vignettes. The play follows the protagonist, Esperanza, as she grows up while under the watchful eye of Esperanza's adult self who narrates the story.

The play will premiere this spring at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. Exact show dates will be released soon.
