Behind the Musical: BASURA

7:30 pm Free with RSVP

Thursday, MAY 14 at 7:30 PM // The Coca-Cola Stage

We invite the Atlanta community to visit the Alliance Theatre for a special behind the scenes, preview event spotlighting the world premiere musical, BASURA. Written by eleven-time Grammy Award® winner Gloria Estefan and her daughter, acclaimed singer-songwriter Emily Estefan, BASURA is a powerful and bold new musical inspired by the true story of Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra, where young artists turn scrap material into instruments and music into possibilities. Hosted by co-artistic director of the Alliance Theatre, Chris Moses, this event will feature interviews with Gloria and Emily in addition to acclaimed director, Michael Grief.

Audiences can also expect songs performed from the show, ticket purchasing locations and a few surprises!

This event is free but space is limited – reservations required.

RSVP

Performances of BASURA run on The Coca-Cola Stage May 30 through July 12, 2026 – learn more.
