Nine-year-old Bee Quijada sits in a suburban classroom. During a history lesson on Rosa Parks, she asks, “Where did Latinos sit on the bus?” What follows is a theatrical mixtape of Bee’s life. It’s a one-person show that immerses the audience in elaborate, layered soundscapes by fusing Latin rhythms, hip-hop, and spoken word poetry. And it’s all made in person, and in real time, through the magic of live music and storytelling.

Chasing Our Tales is a play on words, which is appropriate since it really is a play…on words. We’ll learn where a lot of phrases we use every day come from and we’ll monkey around with a mad hatter (not the Alice one) and we might even butter you up. Or tell a tale or two about a tail or two. So come on, bite the bullet, break the ice and let your hair down. You can learn a lot of life skills if you don’t turn a blind eye while we’re Chasing Our Tales!
