TEATRO DIGNIDAD ¡BOCÓN! BY LISA LOOMER This wonderous fable filled with mysticism and truth tells the story of young Miguel, a creative storyteller and irrepressible "bocón" or big mouth, who loses his voice when his parents are taken. Miguel's only choice is to embark alone, on a treacherous journey "north"! He meets up with mythical guides including the infamous and misunderstood "¡La Llorona!" Will an Ominous Immigration Judge, Green Coyotes, and Tricky Viejitas keep Miguel from his destination, or will they guide him and help him find his voice...?!?
