Synopsis:
The RGV cast, from the Pharr Literacy Project theater troupe, tells the story of Luisito and Janie and their pals who come of age in Hidalgo, Texas, in the 70′s. While Luisito and his buddies are searching for the hidden treasure carried away by Los Fantasmas, the girls on the other hand are writing a history report on the Pumphouse and performing the dance to honor El Rio Grande. The story is also about their ancestors who worked at the Pumphouse since its initiation and was written by Lucio G. Rivera and Pedro Garcia, two Hidalgo natives. The play is presented partly in English and in Spanish. However a brief synopsis is offered at the beginning of the show in English.
