Show Info

By David Anzuelo
Directed by Carlos Armesto

With Freddy Acevedo, Peter Collier, Sean Fletcher Griffin, Neil Tyrone Pritchard, Joe Quintero, Emma Ramos, and Viviana Valeria

Sex, drugs, queerness, and punk-rock. Welcome to border city life in El Paso, Texas, 1984.

DÍA Y NOCHE is an unfiltered coming-of-age story about class struggles and the search for acceptance between two unlikely friends. Danny is a lower-middle class Chicano punk-rock kid who thinks he might be an artist. Martin is a Black upper-middle class band nerd who is gay and in the closet. Danny and Martin double-date, watch X-rated movies, go to concerts, and try to overcome great odds as they navigate the racism and corruption greeting them at the doors to adulthood.

This production contains strong language, violence, partial nudity, and sexual content.
