Mattapan Cultural Arts Development is excited to bring ArtsEmerson 's Play-reading Book Club to Mattapan this fall. Join us as we read, see, and discuss the play and the production. In Mala , Melinda Lopez explores through wit and humor being torn between multiple demands on our time and attention, and how bad (mala) we often feel in the process. It is a story heartfelt to many today, especially if you're a primary care-giver. Watch her explain here what mala means. Then register to join the Play-reading Book Club.
