Event Details

The Old Globe is back and will be presenting a reading of "Alma," a tale about an undocumented mother and daughter. 

Working mom Alma has singlehandedly raised her daughter, Angel, on tough love, home-cooked comida, and lots of prayers. But on the eve of the all-important SAT, Alma discovers her daughter isn’t at home studying. A schooling and la chancla await Angel at home—but so does a creeping realization that more’s at stake than just a test score. A sacrifice from Alma’s past weighs heavy on their present; now, Alma fears that her worst nightmare may soon be their reality. Will the American Dream cost them a life together?

Free and open to the public. This one-hour presentation will feature the actors sitting down and reading from a script.  "Alma" will be read in English with some Spanish inclusion.  There will be no intermission.
