2023/24 Season
Fade
by Tanya Saracho
Directed by Dena Martinez
Sacramento Premiere
March 13 – April 14, 2024
When Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, gets her first TV writing job, she feels a bit out of place on the white male-dominated set. Lucia quickly becomes friends with the only other Latino around, a janitor named Abel. As Abel shares his stories with Lucia, similar plots begin to find their way into the TV scripts that Lucia writes. Fade is a play about class and race within the Latinx community, as well as at large, and how status does not change who you are at your core.
“CapStage Strikes Again With FADE” –OutWord Magazine
“The semi-autobiographical piece explores the inner turmoil that comes with feeling adrift in one’s culture and the struggle to reconcile that with class disparities and unrelenting ambition…FADE focuses on the experiences of a woman of color in a competitive field.” –Courtney Symes, BroadwayWorld
“Capital Stage routinely leaves my lips as one of my favorite spots to catch a play. That remains the case with FADE…there was so much put upon the performers shoulders and they rose to the occasion…I highly recommend catching this show…” –TJ Fassler
