Diego Rivera: His Story – A Benefit Performance

December 12, 2026
7:30 pm

A solo show performed by Herbert Siguenza

DECADE SPONSOR: Joann Clark

About the Event

A brain injury earlier this year left Matt unable to work. He has been waiting months for his disability benefits, and he needs help with rent and basic living costs while he heals. Matt plans to return to work. Your support gets him there.

Diego Rivera: His Story is an evocative one-person theatrical play co-written by and starring Herbert Siguenza of the Chicano group Culture Clash. Set in the aftermath of Frida Kahlo’s funeral, the performance follows the influential Mexican muralist in his studio as he grapples with grief and mortality. During the play, Rivera is visited by Cantinflas, a charismatic comic figure who serves as his Mexican consciousness. Through a compelling blend of visuals, music, and monologue, Rivera recounts his turbulent life, politics, and complex relationships.

We are no longer requiring masks in our theater. Masks are still encouraged to help keep our performers and audience members safe, but they are not required.
