Play Summary: "The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros is a coming-of-age story told through a series of vignettes, exploring the life of Esperanza Cordero, a young Chicana girl growing up in a Chicago Latino neighborhood. The novel follows Esperanza's journey as she navigates the harsh realities and beauty of her community, her family, and her own aspirations. Santa Monica Rep is casting this adaptation for the stage by Amy Ludwig with young people from the Santa Monica community in a shared experience centering young voices in this exploration of home.

We hope we can count on your support as we look ahead to continuing this powerful series in 2025. We can’t wait to celebrate Santa Monica Rep’s 15th year of creating engaging, challenging, funny, topical theatre. We have an exciting slate of projects, including a new, hyper-local play about a Santa Monica family by our very own Artistic Director, Tanya White.
And while we know that there are many worthwhile organizations seeking your support, we hope you’ll continue to show how much you value live, local theatre. We can’t do it without you, and we can't wait to see you in 2025!
