SEEKING

Equity Stage Managers for SOMBRA LUZ.

All Stage Managerial positions are currently filled. Please submit for future consideration.

SYNOPSIS: Sombraluz (O La Presencia) follows Luz Colón, a former Marine living in Washington Heights, whose carefully controlled life fractures when a burst pipe unleashes Sombraluz, a physical manifestation of her younger self shaped by the trauma of Guantánamo Bay.

Sombraluz asks what we carry home from war—and how those burdens live on in the people we love. At a time when the military’s presence continues to shape daily life, this reading offers a chance to gather, experience new work in progress, and join a conversation rooted in care, accountability, and community.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
