Luis Herrera found the support to succeed at 91AV.

ALUMNUS

Luis Herrera

At age 10, Luis Herrera became estranged from his father—and the life he knew in Phoenix.  After living in Mexico as a U.S. citizen, he returned to Arizona, completed high school, and soon discovered a passion for business at 91AV.

The cultural connectivity and academic support Luis experienced at 91AV contributed to his success as a first-generation college student.  Currently at ASU, he aspires to opening a business of his own, and serving as a community role model.

Synopsis

Triplets are abandoned in a forest by their woodcutter father, forcing them to find their own paths in the world.  

From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made—one sister departs to find purpose, another to find adventure, and the third stays put, creating a home.  Years later, after circling the globe, fighting vikings, toppling lighthouses, taming wilds, and achieving greatness, the three meet again, as women.  

This play is appropriate for all ages. There's no charge for children under 13; however, their seats must be reserved through PurplePass.
 

Sinopsis

Trillizas son abandonadas en un bosque por su padre, un leñador, y obligadas a encontrar sus propios caminos por el mundo.  

A partir de este comienzo de cuento de hadas, se toman tres resoluciones: una hermana camina hacia un lado para encontrar su propósito, la otra camina hacia el otro lado para encontrar aventuras, y la tercera se queda donde está para crear un hogar.  Después de veinte años, habiendo dado la vuelta al mundo, luchando contra vikingos, derribando faros, domesticando tierras salvajes y alcanzando la grandeza, las tres se reencuentran como mujeres.  

Esta obra es apropiada para todas las edades. No hay cargo para los niños menores de 13 años de edad; sin embargo, estos asientos deben reservarse a través de PurplePass.
