CRAYON SUN by Tlaloc Rivas

CRAYON SUN is an elegy based on recent tragedy at Uvalde, TX. We are introduced to two child protagonists, VALORIA and MANDO, who engage in a playful, banter until their childhood innocence collide with the inexplicable horrors of adult reality. Centered around the elusive question—why is this happening?—the play grants its young characters the complex freedom to simply be children, creating a stark, emotional juxtaposition that captivates and challenges both our minds and our hearts.
