Discover the true meaning of friendship and life’s everyday miracles as Dallas Children’s Theater (DCT) presents Charlotte’s Web April 25 – June 1. You’ll make friends all over again with Fern and Avery, and all the charming barnyard characters that you remember in this beloved tale.
This NEW and exciting bilingual musical explores how one girl challenges her identity in a modern society while embracing her rich heritage. Young Carmencita (“Cita”) dreams of singing alongside her father as a proud mariachi, but her father insists that mariachi should only include men. When Cita becomes inspired by a book about a famous female mariachi, it expands her world and ideas of what is possible.
Director, Robyn Flatt, wants people to get excited about the story and see how the family overcomes their challenges. “Bursting with live, vibrant and original music, Mariachi Girl rings with rhythms and songs performed by live mariachi. It is not only the story of a young girl following her dreams, it is the story of a family struggling between allegiance to their own cultural traditions and the pressure to assimilate,” she said.
A NEW family musical! This spirited and joyous adaptation performed by an all-teen cast celebrates life, love and home set against the background of the American Civil War. A timeless story that has captured the hearts of readers for nearly 150 years! Be inspired by all the adventures, hopes and dreams of unforgettable sisters Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.
