We love true-story stagecraft here at the Chron, such as this play based on Mexican American author Tomás Rivera. Based on the children’s book of the same name by El Paso’s Pat Mora, the play tells of Tomás’ storytelling love developed over years listening to his grandfather tell tales in the fields from Texas to Iowa. After encountering “the Library Lady” during a visit to the Carnegie Library, Tomás and she engage in mutual learning as she encourages him to read and he teaches her Spanish. – James Scott
