Alix Hudson has been a dynamic force in the Santa Fe theatre scene for the last eight years as a playwright, director, actor, and technician. Although most of her work has benefitted Teatro Paraguas where she is a board member, Alix has worked with many Santa Fe companies, including NM Actors Lab, Ironweed Productions, and &Sons Theatre.

Alix will soon be moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her partner Sharla Stearn. To honor her huge contribution to Teatro Paraguas and Santa Fe theatre, videos of her critically acclaimed plays produced at Teatro Paraguas—Our Lady of Mariposas, Revolution, Atravesada, and Hummingbird—will be screened in a mini-festival July 23 to 25.

Hummingbird (2020) takes place in an unspecified developed country. Nadia and Miriam are best friends and seniors in high school; Sam is Nadia's big brother and works at a local factory. After Nadia and Sam’s parents are deported for being undocumented immigrants, however, Nadia falls into a coma-like state—the so-called "Apathy Syndrome" that's plaguing the children of refugees. Trying to simultaneously use Nadia’s sickness as grounds for their parents’ reentry while debating her motives, Sam and Miriam navigate their changed lives and relationships with Nadia. Memories, as well as Nadia’s dream-like monologues about hummingbirds, are woven throughout. Directed by Malcom Morgan.
