An all-ages play about the life of Dolores Huerta and other under-told stories of the farmworker labor movement is back on tour in Los Angeles.
The show’s extension had been announced prior to the news that Huerta died Wednesday, Oct. 28., at her Bakersfield home. She was 96 years old.
“There’s this perception that farm work was only done by men,” said playwright Eliana Pipes. “There were women on the fields, there were women on the picket lines, and there were women in leadership in the United Farm Workers movement.”
Center Theatre Group commissioned ¡Sí Se Puede! from Pipes in March 2025 and it debuted in L.A. this spring.
The next free, family-friendly shows are:
- Saturday, Nov. 7, 2 p.m., at Christine Emerson Reed Park: 1133 7th St., Santa Monica
- Saturday, Nov. 14, 2:30 p.m., at the East L.A. Civic Center: 4801 E. 3rd St., Los Angeles
- Sunday, Nov. 15, 4 p.m., at Latino Health Access: 450 W. 4th St., Santa Ana
