She's no George Bailey! She's no Ebenezer Scrooge. She is, however, spicier than the both of them. Her name is Rosita, aka "Abuelita!" "Abuelita's Christmas Carol" makes a return to Austin' Ground Floor Theatre for a one-time 2020 performance. In this loving tribute to his maternal grandmother, Rosa Hinojosa, Alex Garza portrays a cast of dear and wacky characters including Lucas, Pedro, Feliza, and who could forget, the pet pig ghost named Agapito. A holiday treat for audiences of all ages.
