Description

When orange predator "Uncle Sam" from the US crashes a celebration of life in Mexico, June bug Salma joins forces with human Lila to lead the resistance and serve sweet justice.

LA CUCARACHA, written by J. Lynn Jackson and directed by Richard Perez, opens PlayGround's fringe-style San Francisco Free-Play Festival at Potrero Stage. La Cucaracha celebrates the nature of love, life, death and sweet justice. Bay Area Theatre collective Latinx Mafia says La Cucaracha is "a sharp, hilarious, and dangerously timely new play. This play comes swinging with humor, heart, and heat. You will laugh. You will squirm. You might even check your visa status."
