Support La Guagua 47

A bilingual Latino musical about a fifteen-year-old Puerto Rican girl who boards Philadelphia's #47 bus and begins a journey to find where she belongs.

A real bus ride in 1985 became a song, then a film made with 300 community members, now a full musical headed to the stage. Community concerts in 2026. World premiere in 2027.

We need your help to get there.

Your gift supports: Musical development. Arrangements and recordings. Community rehearsals, workshops and performances. Costumes. Set design. Live concerts in 2026. Every contribution moves us closer to the world premiere in 2027.

Our partners: Philadelphia Theatre Company | Taller Puertorriqueño | Fulton Bank | Mural Arts Philadelphia | Congreso de Latinos Unidos
