Two Great Documentaries about Topeka

Hey everyone,

Last year, I was able be apart of interviews for two documentary projects. The first was Marlo Angell's 'Mariachi Estrella' documentary about one of the first all women mariachi bands that originated here in Topeka. The second was Juli Pitzer's documentary about the Jayhawk Theater in downtown Topeka. The Jayhawk Theater is also featured in my 'Topeka Ruins' series. The 'Mariachi Estrella' film continues to have screenings and the Jayhawk Theater documentary will be screening soon. You should check out both films when you have the opportunity and learn more about the rich history of Topeka!
