Mariachi Girl

Mariachi Girl is a new bi-lingual Spanish-English musical for children and family audiences. Young Carmencita dreams of being in her father’s Mariachi band, but her father insists that mariachi groups can only include men. When Carmencita reads a book about a famous female mariachi it expands her world and her notion of what is possible. Full of vibrant original mariachi music from a live band, the story explores how one girl can challenge her identity in a modern society while embracing her rich heritage. Liliana Hernandez, a graduate of Johansen High School who now attends Cal State University-Stanislaus, plays the Mariachi Girl in this Gallo Center production!
