Seeds of Resistance presented by About...Productions and MSTMA at Roosevelt High

About...Productions presents the LIVE return of this event featuring plays created by educationally underrepresented youth in the company's Young Theaterworks' Social Justice Residency at Roosevelt High School’s Math, Science, and Technology Magnet Academy in Boyle Heights.

Students interviewed four community leaders whose work in social justice movements have inspired the creation of four new plays that will be presented in a live performance by professional actors, teaching artists, and students. This event will include fully-staged performances of the new plays.

The teaching artists who mentored the youth include Carene Rose Mekertichyan, Brandon Rachal, Robert Paterno, Catherine Dee Holly, and Young Theaterworks Program Manager and Lead Teaching Artist Marlene Beltran.
Student-created work is based off the life stories of the following community leaders:
Father Greg Boyle
Nobuko Miyamoto
Ruben Guevara
Victoria Castro
