The High School Theater students will perform “A Peasant of El Salvador,” a riveting, funny and heart-warming story of a hill farmer and his family against the backdrop of the Salvadoran civil unrest of the 1970s. It tells the story of a peasant named Jesus who has a big heart, a big family and a small piece of land. The peasant, one of hundreds like him, patiently waits for things to change in the face of a military dictatorship, sweeping land reforms, death squads, guerrilla warfare and unprecedented repression. Three narrators take us on a journey to a time and place far removed from us, where the sweat is salty, the corn is sweet, and the feuds are bitter.

Two shows in the High School Student Center. **For parents and students 13+. Bring a friend or neighbor.
