Synopsis

Plumas Negras is based on the stories of the East Salinas community. Cornerstone Theater and playwright Juliette Carrillo have spent the past year collecting stories from local residents, storytellers and leaders. The community has remained part of the development of the play through interviews, story circles, and community readings. 

Rooted in the fertile landscape of Salinas, Plumas Negras tells the story of three generations of hard-working women as they struggle to forge better lives and stronger bonds. When is it time to pull closer, and when is it time to let fly? From the lettuce fields of 1963 to the stores and streets of today's Alisal, come celebrate the triumphs and tears of these remarkable women. A collaboration with the community of Alisal in East Salinas, California, Plumas Negras tells the story of three generations of hard-working women as they struggle to forge better lives and stronger bonds.
