Schooltime presents Tomás and the Library Lady
November 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
This bilingual musical is based on the beloved book about Tomás Rivera. A Mexican-American author and educator, Tomás became the first minority Chancellor in the University of California system. This inspirational production shows how reading, education, and self-esteem can make anything possible. When Tomás, the son of migrant farm workers, meets the “Library Lady” he shares the stories and language his grandfather passed down to him and she shares new tales that allow him to enter new worlds! Students will be able to engage in a post-show discussion with the actors.
This performance is recommended for children in grades K-5 and will be held at the main auditorium at UMass Dartmouth.
