THE ALAN ESPINOZA SOLO PERFORMANCE SERIES

The Alan Espinoza Solo Performance Series is a new two-week cultural event in Paonia, Colorado, produced by Juniper Circle Productions in honor of the late Alan Espinoza – an extraordinary performer, educator, and advocate for the arts. Taking place October 3-19, 2025, during Mexican American Heritage Month, this series will present solo plays, dance works, multimedia storytelling, and musical performances by underrepresented artists, with a focus on Latiné, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and working-class voices. The series culminates in a community Día de los Muertos altar and celebration (in collaboration with The Learning Council), honoring ancestors and those we've lost, including Alan himself. 

The Alan Espinoza Series is more than a collection of performances – it is a platform for healing, connection, resilience, and cultural affirmation. In a rural region where access to the arts is limited and cultural diversity is often marginalized, this event creates space for stories that are too often silenced.

These solo performances will remain accessible to all – offered by suggested donation, at no cost to the community – with 10% of all proceeds benefiting the DC Cares Scholarship Fund.  

Artists In Residence and Performance Schedule to be announced in the coming weeks.
