In the tradition of a community-engaged project, the production is the result of a year-long relationship with the University of California Irvine Service Workers. UCI students involved with Brown Bag Theatre Company collected stories through a series of events and story circles.
Contra la Corriente/Against the Current explores the humanity of the service workers and their plight against an unfair workplace. These individuals, who are often invisible and forgotten on our campus, have families, have struggles, and have stories that must be heard.
