Mando Alvarado's Post No Bills has made its world premiere at Off-Broadway's Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.

Michael Ray Escamilla directs the new work billed as "a Tex-Mex play with music." Opening night is scheduled for Nov. 19 at the downtown Manhattan company's home on Waverly Place for a run scheduled through Dec. 13. The cast of Post No Bills will feature Audrey Esparza, Teddy Canez, John Martin Green and Wade Allain-Marcus.

"Fleeing the Texas border town she grew up in, Reyna arrives in the big city, with nothing but her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter," according to Rattlestick notes. "Taking up with a pair of street musicians, she discovers that love is violent, friendship is pain and the true music comes from the depths of your soul." Here is a look at the production:
