In the Time of the Butterflies

In the Time of the Butterflies is a theatrical adaptation of Julia Alvarez's novel, bringing the story of the Mirabal sisters to the stage. This play explores themes of resistance, family, and freedom under the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. It’s a powerful narrative that combines historical drama with a deeply personal perspective on political struggle. This performance takes place on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the June Sadowski Kruszewski Studio Theatre in El Paso. The studio theatre setting often offers a more intimate and immersive experience, well-suited for a dramatic work of this nature. It's a compelling option for those interested in historical plays and socially conscious storytelling.
