Alebrijes
OCTOBER 17 - NOVEMBER 3, 2024
By Georgina EscobarWhen a young couple discover the largest Día de los Muertos altar they’ve ever seen, magic begins permeating their world. A little creature, known as an alebrije, sweeps into the room and takes the bride’s imagination, merging past and present in this playful homage to Pedro Linares, the creator of the alebrije. Set in present-day San Luis Potosí, in Xochimilco in 1936, and in an afterlife that looks rather like a psychedelic Oaxacan jungle, young Pedro realizes his artistic potential and creates a cultural legacy. Alebrijes celebrates the beauty and absurdity of life, art, and love, and invites us to consider that death is not a severance, but a shift.
Recommended for ages 7+.

MARCH 6 - MARCH 23, 2025
by William Shakespeare, adapted by Elizabeth FalcónS&S presents a topical abridged telling of one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most powerful works, in a cutting that is lean and fast-paced. A tale of witchcraft, prophecy and political ambition, the S&S production will explore the corruption of the trappings of power on the ambitious in a production focused on gender and the systematic forces that bend the individual.

Red Herring Puppets:Bilingual Folktales
Barking Mouse: September 20, 2024
Chupacabra: February 7, 2025We’re offering matinees of two bilingual puppet shows: The Barking Mouse & the Blue Frog in the fall, and The Friendly Chupacabra in the spring.
These puppet shows are presented in a mixture of English and Spanish, celebrating Latin American and Caribbean cultures and the importance of welcoming and learning from each other. They both feature original music by Diana Olivares and Salma Diaz, from Las Azaleas, an all-girl mariachi band based in Tucson.
The Barking Mouse wittily champions the value of learning a second language. The Blue Frog is the Mayan version of the Legend of Chocolate. It’s a double feature!
The tale of The Friendly Chupacabra unfolds in Puerto Rico, where the strange and fierce Chupacabra elicits fear and wonder — until a brave girl, Ana, and her goat tame the beast with friendship.
Recommended for ages 4+.
