Up Next
Our next show will be AlebRIJES! A Day of The Dead Play by Georgina Escobar and originally commissioned by Milagro Theatre in Portland, Oregon. Join La Muerte as she chases Pedro, and his three totemitos in this family-friendly Day of the Dead celebration of fantastical Mexican folk art. A mythologized telling of the life (and almost death) of alebrije creator Pedro Linares, this screwball comedy is about art’s capacity to transcend mortality. Follow Pedro on a nostalgic visit to Mexico City in 1936, discover his special relationship to his animals, and join him in his journey through a psychedelic Oaxacan jungle (or is it the afterlife?). Filled with spectacle to include community-built alebrijes, puppetry, and filled with movement and beloved traditional music, the show culminates in a community altar-building experience which invites audiences to light a candle to and speak the names of their dearly departed.
When: October 23rd and 24th 2026
Where: Union Plaza Park 117 Anthony St, El Paso, TX 79901
Cost: This show is free to the public, however, seating is limited in the park. Bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on the grass, or reserve one of our VIP seats for $25 and help offset the cost of the production.
