Photo Flash: Mexico Beyond Mariachi

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey presents the 2nd Annual Young Audiences New Jersey Family Series. 

The first event of the series is the Alda Reuter & Peter Bogdanos: "Mexico Beyond Mariachi" (pictured) on Saturday, June 16 at 11 a.m. at the Thomas H. Kean Theatre in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts on the campus of Drew University.   "Join five talented performers as they demonstrate there is more to Mexico than mariachis and sombreros. With colorful costumes, authentic instruments, and lively music and dance, the performers explore the richly textured culture that has evolved over five hundred years of native life and foreign influence," state press notes.

All tickets are $12 or $40 for all four productions in the series which also includes "Tap Team Two: Hoofing in America," "Taikoza: Japanese Festival Drums" and the "Manhattan Brass Quintet."  "Mexico Beyond Mariachi" will be held at the Thomas H. Kean Theatre in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts on the campus of Drew University.   For tickets or more information, call 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org.
