A Tale of an Unknown Future came together after the 2020 pandemic changed how society functioned as a whole, introducing mandates for shelter in place and social distancing for the foreseeable future. Because of these mandates, the education system had to transition from in-person learning to virtual learning. This transition made it difficult for the TXO troupe to move forward with their spring programming and theatrical project. Not long after the pandemic began, two things occurred. The first was the start of the California fire season, which led to the worst fire season in California’s history. The second was the millions of people marching in the streets protesting for equality. These outcomes left the TXO troupe to wonder what role humankind had in the deterioration of our planet and the love for one another. After several brainstorming sessions, the TXO troupe agreed to create a project that told the story of love, unity, culture, and the importance of history. 

A Tale of an Unknown Future is developed, scripted, designed and voiced by Armando (AJ) Gutierrez, Emma Ocampo (12),  Jayden Gutierrez, Jazmin Mendez, Layla Gutierrez (12), and Yaretzi Hernandez.  animated by Jacob Rafeal Estrada of Super8bitRafa, and edited/sound designed by Dante Carballo, produced by Emily Morales-Ortiz and Carlos L. Cortez.
