Clarice presents:
Postcards from the Border
by Carrie Rodriguez, Oscar Cásares & Joel Salcido
Wed, Mar. 25, 2026 | 8:00 pm
Thu, Mar. 26, 2026 | 8:00 pm
Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
Postcards from the Border is an empathic, multimedia piece at the intersection of music, spoken word and film that offers an intellectual and uniquely Latin American perspective on the lines bisecting both our maps and our hearts.
Oscar Cásares, an acclaimed novelist from the Rio Grande Valley, wanted to share his experience of growing up on the border with his 10-year-old daughter, Elena. To tell this story, Cásares and photographer Joel Salcido traveled the length of the Rio Grande, from El Paso and Juarez to Brownsville and Matamoros to reveal his roots and the subtle and profound details of those who live there.
Originally appearing in Texas Monthly, those words and images are now brought to life in a new stage production with music by celebrated singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez and her five-piece band, narrated by Cásares alongside Salcido’s stirring images. This is a story steeped in the rich and inspiring history of America. Here, in this corner of the country, kids are raised to cross fluidly into both cultures and languages, to listen to pop music as easily as they do polkas and rancheras, to speak to their teachers in English and their grandparents in Spanish, and to everyone else in both languages, often simultaneously. Together, these artists will illuminate the often-overlooked stories of generations of families at the edge of our country. This is the story of the border you’ve never heard.
Don’t miss a post-show conversation and Q&A with the artist immediately following the Wed, Mar 25 performance!

Inspiring, Strength, Restoring Hope, and Empowering Survivors to Rise. – “A Journey from Pain to Purpose” in a powerful story that echoes the silent cries of many, Yet I Stand follows the life of Elaine Crocker whose innocence is shattered by abuse. Lost in confusion and pain, she battles to find her voice and the strength to heal. As her family struggles to understand her hurt, they too are forced to confront their own fears, failures, and faith. Together, through moments of heartbreak, tears, and revelation, they learn that healing begins not in silence — but in unity, prayer, and love. This moving production is a testament to resilience, forgiveness, and the power of hope. Yet I Stand is more than a play — it’s a call to open hearts, start conversations, and remind every survivor: you are not alone.
