Get ready for a heartwarming theatrical adventure that celebrates family, heritage, and the sweet memories that connect us across generations! This enchanting play follows 10-year-old Memo as he embarks on a magical journey with his late grandmother, Abuelita, searching for her hidden candy stash while discovering something far more precious along the way.
Through a beautiful blend of magical realism and laugh-out-loud slapstick comedy, you'll travel with Memo and Abuelita through her memories of growing up in Mexico and immigrating to the United States. This touching story explores cultural identity, the unbreakable bonds between generations, and how we learn to say goodbye to those we love. Perfect for young audiences and families alike, this production offers both entertainment and meaningful reflections on what truly matters—familia!
Written by Ramon Esquivel and directed by Carl Gonzales, this delightful performance runs on Saturdays and Sundays with convenient showtimes at 11 am and 1 pm. It's a wonderful opportunity to introduce children to live theater while celebrating Hispanic culture and the universal themes of love, loss, and family connection.
