The Magic Ofrenda November 17, 2010

Glass Onion Kids and Teatro Vista present 'The Magic Ofrenda.' The pan de muertos is baked, the papel picado is strung and all that is missing is Anjelita's picture of Grandma. But the longer her Grandma is gone, the less Anje remembers, until finally she can't draw anything at all. So Anje and her brother Mateo head to Mexico to celebrate el Dia de los Muertos with Grandpa Juan, who has a plan to shake her memory. A plan that includes Salsa dancing, a parading Dalmatian, luchador wrestling and la grand artista herself, Frida Kahlo. As the holiday passes, the calacas come to life to share the vibrant tales of the family's past and comfort Anje as she deals with her loss.
