TEATRO VIVO PRESENTS ENFRASCADA
A Dark Comedy by Tanya Saracho
Teatro Vivo is excited to bring you Enfrascada, a dark comedy by renowned playwright and screenwriter Tanya Saracho, presented at the Emma S. Barrientos-Mexican American Cultural Center under the direction of Claudia M. Chávez.
Alicia is a successful art curator who seems to have her life together. But, when her world is turned upside down, she turns to her friends for support. Together they seek the guidance of wise señoras – and enter the realm of hoodoo, santeria, and curanderismo – to make things how they used to be. With an all-star cast including Karina Domínguez, Emily McDougall, Eva McQuade, Bárbara Mojica, JoJanie Segura Moreno, and Minerva Villa-Rivera, this hilarious and touching comedy about a group of modern-day Latinas explores the magic of friendship.
“This story touches on so many amazing aspects of our culture,” says
Chávez. “It embodies freedom and the sisterhood of women.”

Playwrights Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos, Anthony Aguilar, and Luis Vega Showcase Diverse Voices

The ALNPF features three new plays, including a theatre-for-youth piece that will be presented the afternoon of Saturday March 4, 2017.

Reserved seats may also be purchased for $15 for each play.

Diablos, Shepherds, & Payasadas
Teatro Vivo Presents Nuestra Pastorela
AUSTIN, Texas — Teatro Vivo is excited to present Nuestra Pastorela, a play that offers a unique twist on a favorite holiday tradition. This story promises to be a fun evening at the theatre for the entire family.
Written by Jeffry Farrell and David Lozano, and directed by Ricky Ramon, Nuestra Pastorela is a fun and wacky adaptation of the traditional shepherd’s tale. Accompanied by the musical stylings of Clemencia Zapata and performed in a playful mix of English, Spanish, and gibberish, Nuestra Pastorela follows the lively shepherds on their way to Bethlehem. Along the way, a group of bumbling devils try to interrupt their journey and plot the shepherds’ ultimate doom, bringing the ultimate showdown between good and evil front stage in a chaotic and hilarious compilation.
“People will walk away with a better understanding of the story we’ve all grown to love,” says Ramon. “They will leave the theatre feeling energized, happy, and ready to celebrate the holidays.”
Nuestra Pastorela es una divertida y absurda adaptación del cuento tradicional. Con el talento musical de Clemencia Zapata, y realizada en una mezcla de Inglés, Español, y sonserías, Nuestra Pastorela sigue un grupo de pastores animados en su camino a Belén. Por el viaje, unos diablos necios tratan de interrumpirlos, intentando la desolación de los pastores. La lucha entre el bien y el mal toma el primer plano en una historia caótica y cómica. Con un toque diferente, Nuestra Pastorela promete ser una noche inolvidable para toda la familia.

Celebrate the Ghosts and Legends of South Texas
TEATRO VIVO PRESENTS STORIES THAT MUST NOT DIE
AUSTIN, Texas — Teatro Vivo is excited to present Stories That Must Not Die, a recollection of tales from South Texas and along the Rio Grande. Stories that have been passed down through generations will be brought to life on stage under the direction of Alexis Arredondo.
Stories That Must Not Die takes us back to the days of telling ghost stories over a campfire, or listening to your grandparents share traditional folktales as they drink their evening cafecito with pan dulce. Stories such as ‘The Handsome Stranger,’ ‘Don Pedrito Jaramillo,’ and ‘La Llorona’ explore the age-old themes of vanity, greed, desperation, loss, and hope.
“The reason these are called stories that must not die is because they are slowly disappearing,” said Arredondo. “These stories are not only important to our culture, but remind us of daily valuable lessons of our society. They must live on just as it is important for our society and culture to keep living. These aren’t just folklore and legends, these are our stories.”
Date: October 13-23, 2016

Teatro Vivo Presents “EL” by Raul Garza
New Play Explores Power of Truth and Storytelling
AUSTIN, Texas — Teatro Vivo is thrilled to present EL, a new play by Raul Garza. Through humor, sadness, and strong allusions to Latino culture, EL takes us through the hardships of a family, as well as their individual struggles and desires.
EL follows an aspiring writer torn between fulfilling her desire for success, and honoring her family’s deepest secrets. In the process of telling her truth, she sheds light on the past her family has tried to forget, and risks losing their trust. But in this struggle, they discover new perspectives about what really happened.
EL encourages us to think about how our past shapes the way we live in the present, and how we face our future. “[People] can relate to the story by seeing themselves in it and by recognizing the significance of their own version of truth or reality,” said Garza. “They can relate to it by remembering the ways that oral stories have been handed down in their families.”
As a playwright, Raul Garza reflects his real and imagined world through stories that resound with authenticity and sense of place. EL is directed by Christina J. Moore, an Austin theatre professional whose work has covered the gamut from directing and producing to acting, teaching, and voiceovers. Our all-star cast is composed of Gricelda Silva, Mary Alice Carnes, Jesus Valles, Rupert Reyes, Roxy Becker, and Nathanael Dunaway.
Date: September 8th through September 25th
Showtimes: Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm
Location: Mexican American Cultural Center (600 River St, Austin, TX 78701)

Stories of Us April 21- May 8
Teatro Vivo’s explores Afro-Latino identity in new play: Stories of Us
Teatro Vivo is proud to present Stories of Us, a production that takes an in-depth look at Latino and Black relations. The play uses a variety of performance styles to explore the histories behind Afro-Latinidad while addressing how past interactions between the two separate cultures have impacted their current relationship as a community.
The Stories of Us is a collection of stories that dig deep into intercultural conflict between African Americans and Latinos, African Diaspora identity and Afrolatinidad. Think of it as a scrapbook of experiences, histories and feelings on the stage. It’s takes you through stories about African roots in Mexico, the time you told your brother you were dating a “Black girl” and that moment you were proud of your heritage. The Stories of US details our stories as people of color trying to navigate each other’s worlds and build one together.
This play has been written by recent UT graduate and author of the blog Black Girl, Latin World Jelisa Jay Robinson, and is directed by the Managing Director of Salvage Vanguard Florinda Bryant. In an effort to unite both groups, Stories of Us details experiences of discrimination that many still currently face and uses those observations to open a rich dialogue about the importance of acceptance, solidarity, and love.
Name of Play: Stories of Us
Date: April 21 – May 8, Thursday through Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm
Location: Mexican American Cultural Center (600 River St, Austin, TX 78701
Written by Jelisa Jay Robinson and Directed by Florinda Bryant
“This is our first production that looks at Afro-Latinidad. We have presented other plays that spoke about racism within our own community. This play has much more depth and insight into the Afro-Latino experience,” said Rupert Reyes cofounder of Teatro Vivo. “The conversation that explores the similarities between Blacks and Latinos needs to begin or continue. I don’t know what the forces are at play that divide us. I do know that we can be one of the forces that unite us. We hope that all of our plays create a movement for more unity on the community level, the local level.”
