Alicia's Miracle

Tides Theatre
533 Sutter St 2nd Floor San Francisco

You might not look at a strawberry the same way again after taking in Octavio Solis' Alicia's Miracle. Mixing the raw ingredients of live performance and journalism, StoryWorks productions are a collaboration between San Francisco's Tides Theatre and the Center for Investigative Reporting -- and this world premiere drama dishes out a direct response to the Center's 15-month study of the effects of pesticide use on one of America's favorite fruits. Played out in a workshop format, Alicia's Miracle is the story of a young Latina mother from Oxnard, Calif., that hopefully inspires action about an urgent social issue of our time.
