Where Did We Sit on the

Bus? by Brian Quijada

7:30 to 9 p.m. at McPhetres Hall, 325 Gold St, Juneau

Where Did We Sit on the Bus?

by Brian Quijada

Presented by Theater Alaska

Tickets: Pay-as-you-want

Where Did We Sit on the Bus? is an electric one-person show pulsing with Latin rhythms, rap, hip-hop, and spoken word. During a third-grade lesson on the civil rights movement and Rosa Parks, a Latinx eight-year-old raises their hand to ask, “Where did we sit on the bus?” and the teacher can’t answer the question. This coming-of-age story examines finding identity in art, family, and culture, and what being Latinx means through the eyes of a child, turned teenager, turned adult.

The production features Theater Alaska company member Enrique Bravo (Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and is directed by Theater Alaska Producing Artistic Director Flordelino Lagundino.

Theater Alaska’s season is supported in part by the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council and the City and Borough of Juneau.

TICKETED PERFORMANCES

Friday, May 1 @ 7:30pm – McPhetres Hall (325 Gold Street)

Saturday, May 2 @ 7:30pm – McPhetres Hall

Sunday, May 3 @ 3pm – McPhetres Hall

Theater Alaska’s mission is to make professional theater accessible to all. Therefore, we are using a pay-as-you-want ticket structure for this performance. This allows our audiences to pay the price that they can afford. For example, for $40 you are paying the market value of the ticket; for $50 or more you are also helping those in our community attend the show who are unable to afford the full price. You’ll be able to choose smaller amounts, including $0 as we want to make sure cost is not a barrier to attending the show.

Please note that tickets do not pay for the entire cost of Theater Alaska’s productions. If you are able to help support professional theater artists, we would greatly appreciate your donation.
