Event Details

Visit the Pleasant Grove branch for a free public performance of the play, "Juana Ines: The Child Who Loved to Read " by the Cara Mia Theatre on Saturday, July 8th from 1:00 - 2:00 P.M.

This bilingual play tells the story of Mexican poetess Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, who lived in Mexico during the 1600's when women were discouraged from reading and writing. Highly imaginative, using movement, puppets, and audience interaction, Juana Inés: The Child Who Loved To Read is an excellent example of perseverance for children of all ages. (approximately 46 minutes)
