When a sacred and magical tree begins to wither, its roots expose a West Texas town trapped between long-buried secrets and a fast-approaching oil boom.

Arbolito was written during the 2020-2021 HPT Writers Group, and was a finalist for the Blue Ink Award and the 2022 Emory University Playwrights Festival.

Directed by Jerry Ruiz and featuring Katy Atkinson, Mary Alice Carnes, Zac Carr, Maggie Gallant, Yesenia Herrington, and David Jarrott. Dramaturgy by Megan Thornton.

Raul is a Latino playwright who tells stories that resound with authenticity and sense of place. He boldly explores the intersection of popular culture and cultural identity, and incorporates music, spirituality, and the power of nostalgia into works that span time and location. Plays include Running Bear (world premiere at Hyde Park Theatre, Blue Ink Award semifinalist), Fantasmaville (National Latino Playwriting Award, Teatro Vivo), MyHEB, Dos Pocitos, Cura, Confessions of a Mexpatriate, There and Back and El.
