In the land of Illyria, anything can happen. And when a ship wrecks on its tropical shores, mistaken identities, mismatched partners, fights, falls, feints, music and confusion all collide in the pursuit of love.

During a third grade lesson on the Civil Rights movement and Rosa Parks, a Latina child raises her hand to ask, “Where did we sit on the bus?” Her teacher can’t answer the question.

Featuring live music that brings together Latin beats, hip-hop, and looping, Where Did We Sit on the Bus? is a high-energy, tour-de-force theatrical experience that examines what it means to be Latinx in America.
