Tomás and the Library Lady
Tomás and the Library Lady is a bi-lingual play which follows the boyhood story of Tomás Rivera and how he befriended a librarian in Iowa who encouraged him to read. Tomás, the child of migrant farm workers, became a writer, a professor, and a national education leader. He rose to become the Chancellor at University of California at Riverside. The campus library now bears his name.
The play includes a cast of three with puppets and projections that create a magical journey of discovery set in the early 1940’s in Midwest.
