Teatro Paraguas presents Esperanza

Teatro Paraguas is pleased to present the premiere production of Esperanza, a play with music based on the iconic film Salt of the Earth. Written by Carlos Morton in conjunction with Teatro Paraguas, Esperanza retells the incredible story of the 1951 strike by the Mexican-American miners and their wives against the Empire Zinc mine in Bayard, New Mexico. The 15-month strike by Local 890 of the International Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers Union was the first successful mine strike in U.S. History. When the mining company invoked the Taft-Hartley Act to make it illegal for the miners to strike, their wives and mothers took over the picket line.
