Adelita! The Women of the Mexican Revolution

By popular request, we have made available the opening sequence of the 2010 Festival original production, “Adelita! The Women of the Mexican Revolution,” conceived by Linda Ronstadt and staged and directed by Dan Guerrero. This compelling multi-media production told the story of the women warriors of Mexico’s Revolution of 1910. In this opening sequence, the real women, men, and yes, children, who fought for social justice, are brought to life.
