Feliz Cumpleaños! It’s Carmela’s birthday, and she’s finally old enough to tag along with her big brother as he runs the family errands. Passing by the bodega and the lavanderia, Carmela picks a dandelion and makes a very important wish…
Carmela Full of Wishes, is playing Sept. 24 – Oct. 21 at Main Street Theater’s Midtown location at 3400 Main Street, 77002 at the MATCH. The production is recommended for Pre-Kindergarten and older and will be performed in a mix of English and Spanish with projected translations.
The show illuminates the beauty of working class neighborhoods and the power of community and family. Told through the lens of a heartfelt sibling story, this endearing play explores what hope looks like in a migrant community steeped in Mexican culture.
