We are proud to highlight one of the Spanish Golden Age’s most accomplished female playwrights in this recently translated play. Leonor, intent on bringing her unfaithful lover to justice, crosses geographical boundaries and defies social expectations of gender in a crusade to restore her lost honor. Duels, bandits, and mistaken identities are delightfully combined in this 17th century comedy.

Carmela Full of Wishes

based on the best-selling book by Matt de la Peña
directed by Amy Ressler

¡Feliz cumpleaños! It’s seven-year-old Carmela’s birthday and she is scootering past workers in fields, excited that she’s finally old enough to tag along with her older brother while he runs errands. When she spots a lone dandelion, Carmela must decide what her deepest wish is—and she must do it before her birthday is over. Touching and funny, this delightful play is recommended for children 4-10 years old.
$5 General Admission
Children 12 and under are free!

Theatre works beautifully in conjunction with my English major. I am drawn to the exciting classes, productions, faculty, and opportunities available. Here, you get a chance to perform in main-stage productions, work with talented faculty that know the business, and get opportunities to not only grow as an actor, but as a designer, director, and person. Choosing to major in Theatre at CSUB has made all the difference in my undergraduate career and I wouldn't change a thing— except maybe deciding to double major sooner!
—Taylor Clark, Class of 2020
"Studying at the CSUB Theatre Department allowed me to experiment with projects and roles that shaped the actor I am today. They gave me space and tools to create art —regardless of size and scope — always encouraging creativity, spontaneity and hard work. I was lucky to have what I did in the theatre program at CSUB and continually draw on my time there for inspiration."
—Jeff Lepine, Artistic Director of The Peoples Improv Theater, NYC
"CSUB Theatre cultivates artists as they take responsibility for and initiative in their craft. It offers support and countless possibilities for students who are committed to growth."
—Miguel Torres, CSU Fullerton MFA Program
