Abuelita’s Christmas Carol
Kenneth Gall Photography
Meet Rosita
She’s no George Bailey. She’s no Ebenezer Scrooge. She’s a little bit spicier.
She’s Rosita, better known as Abuelita. Since 2006, this show has played all over South and Central Texas, and even made a stop on the West Coast at the Santa Monica Playhouse in California.
Alex Garza is overjoyed to return to Corpus Christi with a play written so lovingly about his family and, most importantly, Rosa Hinojosa, his maternal grandmother. The show includes the same wacky and dear cast of characters, including Lucas, Pedro, Feliza, and who could forget the pig ghost named Agapito.
This production features deleted scenes from the original 2006 staging and a little more music than before. Ring in the holidays with a Tex-Mex holiday classic.
