Desert Dreams Brought to Life By Martha Estrada Baca

The Empire of Sand was a confusing yet fascinating venture into an imaginary world that will be sure to engage young children. The use of props and the creation of the set was extraordinarily creative and assisted in establishing the setting. I found the entire show, although confusing and convoluted at times, very creative. It was slightly reminiscent of the wackiness of Dr. Seuss and his stories. The usage of lighting was also very immersive. I would recommend for those who enjoy the unusual and confusing nature of Dr. Seuss’s stories.
