GUADALUPE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER ANNOUNCES EL PAZCHUCO FOR PREZ, WRITTEN BY RODNEY GARZA , SEPTEMBER 25, 26 & 27 AT 8 P.M., SAY SI BLACK BOX STUDIO (1310 S. BRAZOS ST), $15 ADMISSION

As a follow up to the reading of El Pazchuco for Prez on May 31 at the Guadalupe Latino Bookstore, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center Theater Arts program announces the full production of El Pazchuco for Prez, a theatrical experience that blends humor and bold commentary. The production will be held from Thursday – Saturday, September 25 – 27, 2025 (Sept. 25, 26 and 27^th) at 8 PM at the SAY Si Black Box Studio, located at 1310 S. Brazos St, San Antonio, TX.

Written and directed by the visionary Rodney Garza, this innovative production invites audiences into a parallel universe known as Los United Estates of Aztlan, where politricks reign supreme and laughter is the best medicine.

El Pazchuco for Prez follows the journey of El Pazchuco, a zoot-suited lecturer navigating the chaotic world of “politricks.” As he embarks on an unconventional crusade to fulfill a reverential promise, his bold antics challenge the status quo and infuse a much-needed flair into the electoral scene.

Visit during the day and bring home some of our art, history, or culture.

The Guadalupe Cultural Art Center’s Latino Bookstore and Gift Shop is the epicenter of the West Side Art District in San Antonio and an official Visitor Center for the state of Texas.

It is also a foundation for our community’s heart, soul, and voice.

Our selection of books ranges from best sellers and icons to self-published authors from our community. We also have books for children, young adults, and teens in English, Spanish, and Spanglish.

We are not a typical commercial enterprise. The GCAC Latino bookstore is housed on the Guadalupe Cultural Art Center’s complex, across the street from a historic theatre, and inside the legacy Progresso Building. We have an outdoor stage next door and an outdoor plaza across the street from there.

More importantly, even our stories tell stories. Our shelves house a curated selection of writers and books whose art, history, and culture are linked to the 40 year legacy of the GCAC or one of the fields or artists under its umbrella. This ranges from theatre to visual arts, to dance, music, to film. All of which have just as rich a legacy as our literary roots.

Although we focus on Texas Latino writers, Mexican American Studies, Chicano Scholars, and Icons, we go out of our way to showcase the many facets of our Community’s voice. So you will also find representation from the entire Latino family tree, California, New Mexico, New York.

CARMEN FROM MEXICO

TICKETS FOR CARMEN FROM MEXICO NOW ON SALE!

The Guadalupe Theater will be limiting capacity at 60%, masks are strongly encouraged, hand sanitization stations will be available, and please note entry will take a bit longer than usual as we will be administering temperature checks.

Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center’s Teatro Salon proudly presents the World Premiere of the original solo performance of ‘Carmen From Mexico’ featuring Anna De Luna and directed by Jorge Piña. Scheduled for August 13th & 14th, 2021, Guadalupe Theater, 1301 Guadalupe St., San Antonio, TX 78207. Curtain is at 8pm with a general admission of $10.00.

Carmen From Mexico is an original solo multimedia play with live musical accompaniment that reflects the playwright’s own personal family history of her mother’s “illegal” immigration from Mexico to South Texas. Playwright Anna De Luna portrays her mother Carmen (in several stages of her youth) in this powerful true story of survival, struggle and yet sometimes comical experiences of adapting to South Texas racism and prejudices.

Anna De Luna has performed in various leading roles at the Guadalupe Theater and Jump-Start Performance Company.  She also appeared at the Public Theater in Anna In The Tropics for which she received a San Antonio Globe Award for Best Actress.  She has produced her original, solo plays Chicana Atheist, The AIDS Lady and My Arab Fall with sustaining success.  In 2016 Ms. De Luna was selected Creative of the Month by the City of San Antonio Department for Culture and Creative Development.  Carmen from Mexico was first presented as a short 20-minute work-in-progress at the Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival in 2018 and at Jump-Start Performance Company in 2019.
