Description

The Latino Center of Art and Culture, presents the 10th annual A Pastorela in Sacramento - an adaptation of the play written in 2014 by Manuel Pickett and Marie Acosta, a popular holiday musical for kids and adults alike. This Pastorela is a clear-eyed example of political theater mixed with cultural traditions mixed with hope and holiday spirit. A Pastorela in Sacramento is a modern bilingual musical of Mexico’s traditional Christmas pageant. Satirical, poignant, moralistic, sly and romantic, with contemporary and timeless subject matter. La Pastorela de Sacramento draws directly from current affairs in the best tradition of magical realism. The Latino Center of Art & Culture showcases talented local artists offering Sacramento a musical perfect for the spirit of the season. The transformation of contemporary recognizable figures into four "shepherds" is a new twist. Brought outdoors to the Center, bringing teatro back to the community!
