A Musical Pinata for Christmas 9 on Zoom!

The NY primos in Marimorena, Biscochitos, and the Fear of Missing Out are played by New York City-based Crip Video Productions https://cripvideoproductions.com company members Margot Cole, and Izabela Ginda, as part of A Musical Pinata for Christmas 9, which is being streamed on Zoom live on Saturday December 18th. The performance features a mix of disabled and non disabled performers here https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ShTCHpfQSg-b8-0rb_Ec5g Teatro Paraguas presents A Musical Piñata for Christmas IX an annual community celebration for the Holidays The celebration features a short play written by Alix Hudson and Paola Vengoechea Martini, and directed by JoJo Sena de Tarnoff entitled Marimorena, Biscochitos, and the Fear of Missing Out. The play continues the storyline from last year’s featured play, Home for the Holidays: Con Amor y Gozo, which was performed solely on Zoom. This year’s production is a hybrid offering, with a number of actors participating from New York via Zoom. In this Spanglish romp, 30 actors of all ages from our Paraguas family are also a literal family -- desperately trying to cobble together a "normal" Christmas for the family matriarch, Mama JoJo (JoJo Sena de Tarnoff). But with the chaos of the kids making biscochitos, the teens creating tree ornaments, the adults fussing over whether to present the Misa del Gallo on Zoom, and Padre and others hitting the Communion wine, chaos and hilarity shine as bright as the Christmas star. The Teatro Paraguas Orchestra, with 10 musicians led by Jeff Tarnoff, will play traditional and contemporary carols, including a few with dance routines choreographed by Xochitl Ehrl. A number of other short plays will be presented, including Oh, Tannenbaum, by Mark Harvey Levine. And Santa Clos will show up at the last minute to help bring down the piñata for all the kids in the audience. https://www.teatroparaguasnm.org If you are in Santa Fe New Mexico in person, on Saturday, December 18, ArtWalk Santa Fe teams up with Teatro Paraguas for a lively afternoon, with at least 15 local artists selling their creations, food trucks, live music, face painting, and other kid-friendly activities.
