Celebrate the Fall season with SUGAR SKULL! A Día de Muertos Musical Adventure, a joyful, colorful musical that brings the traditions of Día de Muertos to life.
The story follows twelve-year-old Vita Flores, who thinks her family has gone loco planning a celebration for deceased loved ones. Why throw a party for the dead? But when a spirited candy skeleton suddenly springs to life, Vita is swept into a magical adventure that helps her discover the meaning of remembrance, family, and cultural heritage.
Featuring traditional Mexican music and dance performed by a vibrant ensemble, this bilingual production is perfect for families with children ages 7-14, and anyone young at heart.
Arrive early to enjoy a special pre-show Día de Muertos celebration, adding even more color, culture, and fun to your experience.
