When a woman discovers her magical powers, she sets out on a journey of self-discovery.
This is the story of Sombra, the main character of “Sombras,” written and created by Central New Mexico Community College’s Coal Avenue Theatre students. CNM theater instructor Dani Belvin directed the production, which incorporates the works of local sculpture artists whose work is featured on the grounds of the Harwood Arts Center, 1114 Seventh NW.
“The story itself follows a girl,” Belvin said. “Her name is Sombra. And it’s kind of a story about both her discovery and her growing into herself. So it starts kind of with a discovery of her ability to use magic. And when she discovers this, she has some strange relationship with her mother. She decides to leave home to learn how to hone this magical skill that she has and figure out what it is.”
