Dos Cuentos bilingue

Directed by JoJo Sena Tarnoff, the cuentos feature a large cast ages 8-75.  In The Man Who Couldn't Stop Dancing, a chance encounter with a mysterious abuelita enables a poor goatherd to bolster his fortunes and take care of his aging mother. The Four Musicians of Belen is a retelling of the classic Grimm Brothers' fairytale Town Musicians of Bremen, first published in 1819, which relates the adventures of four homeless animals searching for a new career.

Teatro Paraguas is delighted to revive the annual Cuentos Library Tour, which took place for a number of years before the pandemic.

The actors include Daric Gutierrez, Mar Cuevas, Rudy "Froggy" Fernandez, Dee Anaya, Cristina Montaño-Kelly, Christina Rogel, Argos MacCallum, and young actors Kingston Leyba, Pierce Anaya, Magdalena and Moshea Leyba, and Stella Belle Anaya. JoJo Sena Tarnoff accompanies the action on guitar.

In July, Teatro Paraguas will present Joe Hayes' famous cuento El Día que Nevó Tortillas (The Day It Snowed Tortillas) at the Southside Library on July 12 at 2:00 p.m. as part of the Color Our World-- Summer Reading Celebration events. Southside Library is located at 6599 Jaguar Drive.
