Las Nuevas Tamaleras
"Las Nuevas Tamaleras" is written and directed by San Antonio playwright Alicia Mena. The bilingual play captures three contemporary Latinas in an uproariously comical attempt at making tamales for the first time. Things become even more entertaining when the spirits of two seasoned tamaleras, Dona Juanita and Dona Mercedes, appear to help the novices make the perfect tamal!
Mena wrote the one-act play in 1990, when it premiered in Houston at the El Teatro Bilingue Latino Playwright's Festival. Since then, "Las Nuevas Tamaleras" has played to sell-out audiences across Texas, New Mexico, California, Colorado and Illinois. It has become a holiday tradition for San Antonio, where the "Tamaleras" has been presented annually for 15 years. The play is included in an anthology of Latina writers by the University of Arizona Press entitled "Puro Teatro" which was published in 1999.
