Fade: a Play

Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center presents "Fade," a powerful and witty play by acclaimed playwright Tanya Saracho. Performances will be held Friday, September 12, and Saturday, September 13, at 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, September 14, at 3:00 p.m. at the duCret Center of Art in Plainfield, NJ.
In "Fade," Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, lands her first TV writing job in a white male-dominated writers’ room. Feeling out of place, she strikes up an unexpected friendship with Abel, the studio’s janitor and the only other Latino in the building. As Abel shares his personal stories, Lucia begins weaving them into her television scripts—blurring the lines between storytelling, authenticity, and exploitation.
Saracho’s play offers a sharp, funny, and thought-provoking exploration of class and race within the Latinx community, while also probing larger questions about ambition, belonging, and identity.
