Teatro Audaz Presents Mexican-American-Centered Play IT'S A WONDERFUL VIDA

Teatro Audaz presents the Texas premiere of "It's a Wonderful Vida," written by Herbert Siguenza and directed by Nora Moreno-Jarrell.

The play takes a darkly satirical look at Mexican-Americans during Christmas in 1957. Set in Corpus Christi, Texas, the play examines an immigrant family trying to assimilate and achieve the American dream that seems as fake as Santa Claus. Then, the Pacheco family gets an unexpected visit from Mexico that turns their whole world upside down.

While there are a few similarities between the play "It's a Wonderful Vida" and the film "It's a Wonderful Life," this play is not an adaptation. Instead of an angel earning his wings, Nick tries to earn his Santa hat. Highlights include the family dynamics, romance, and food.

WHEN: December 7 to December 17
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.
Sundays at 5:30 p.m.

Playwright Herbert Siguenza will host a platica with audience and actors after the performance on Saturday, December 9.
