A group of teens are changing the theater landscape in Detroit. But they're not reinventing the wheel — instead they're building off of the Mexican Carpas theater tradition to create whimsical, bilingual performances. The group is called La Carpa Theatre and is run by artist Karilú Alarcón Forshee.

GUESTS:

Karilú Alarcón Forshee, creator of La Carpa Theatre

Gabriel Rodriguez, performer
