Señora Tortuga, a bilingual folktale, presented by Ponderosa Theatre Company
A celebration of two cultures and languages, this English/Spanish play uses the wisdom tales of Mexican culture to give hope to a family faced with too much reality.
In this enchanting bilingual play, young Pedro and his family make their home in a barn on the Mexican border. Pedro complains of having nothing and brings his mother many headaches. On one occasion, she invites a hungry woman to share the family dinner. But this Señora returns time and again to eat and tell fantastic stories of the enchanted serpent and Cucuy of Mexican legend, filling Pedro's nights with heroic, yet frightening dreams. Surprisingly, Pedro learns from these wisdom tales, but his mother is suspicious of the Señora - until it is revealed that Señora Tortuga holds the thread that ties their past dreams to their future.
Suitable for ALL ages.
