SUNCATCHER
Music can lift you. But it can also haunt you.
In the border city of Mexicali, 17-year-old Beatriz Garza inherits more than her grandfather’s beat-up guitar—she inherits a secret. A myth. A promise. Her beloved Tata, once a brilliant musician, made a deal with a shadowy figure known as El Chamán—a collector of unfinished songs. Now, with her grandfather gone and the guitar pulsing with strange magic, Beatriz must finish the song he never could… or risk losing him forever.
With the help of her misfit bandmates, including a hotheaded horn player, a tender-hearted drummer, and a bass goddess who just might be something more, Beatriz sets out to write music that matters—music that heals, music that burns. But grief is messy. Love is louder than lyrics. And no one escapes their family legacy without paying a price.
Suncatcher is a new bilingual alt-rock musical that blends border town punk, ghost stories, queer awakenings, and magical realism into a rebellious, heart-thumping anthem for anyone who’s ever been caught between the past and their own voice.
