Join UTRGV Arts in welcoming Brave Little Company as they present "First Day, Nueva Escuela".

First Day, Nueva Escuela

TRAILER

Nueva Escuela is the story of a girl who overcomes her fear of starting class at a new school (and of reading) by writing herself into the stories. Tía Elena wants to make sure Xiomara is ready for her first day at a new school, but no matter which story she suggests, Xiomara always finds a reason not to like it. And now there’s just one day left before school starts! The play is easily understood by English- and Spanish-speaking audiences, and its interactive storytelling helps them find compassion and empathy for others' stories.
