La Carpa Del Maestro

Hopefully some of you are aware of the annual Day of the Dead Festival by the Miracle Theatre Group. This year is the group's 25th anniversary, and their work continues beautifully. Tonight I was at their production of La Carpa Del Maestro, a deathly fun show that explores the relationship between a master and an apprentice. They chose a 1950s setting complete with a twisted Leave it to Beaver like family, and oddly chilling "commercial breaks."
I found this production artistic and lovely. It was a thoroughly entertaining evening of music, dance, acrobatics, drama and comedy. It was a deliciously haunting treat infused with an illuminating Latin spark!
