MACARIO 2015 Student Matinee

Program description

On the morning of October 23rd, in partnership with the School of Arts and Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza, Teatro will present our 3rd annual Student Matinee performance of MACARIO, a one-of-a-kind adaptation of the classic Mexican novel and Academy-award nominated film that is quickly becoming a Día de los Muertos tradition in San José.

...

Student matinees are an unique chance for youth to experience the power of live theater and engage with the artists. Last year, we were honored to welcome groups from Del Mar High School, Washington High School (Fremont), Saratoga High School, Harbor High School, Archbishop Mitty High School, Presentation High School, Adelante Academy, Chabot College, De Anza College, Evergreen Valley College, San José City College, San José State University, and Stanford University, among many others.

Please contact us ASAP to reserve seats for your students at a discounted rate of $7 per ticket. (This is more than 50% off our average ticket price.) Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and we expect the matinee to sell out. (Note: Students can get the same low price to attend ANY performance. Please email melissa@teatrovision.org to learn more.)

MACARIO has been called A Christmas Carol for México. The parable-like story features three spirits who attempt to persuade a poor working man to reflect on his choices when he comes into the fortune of having a full turkey to eat. It is a work steeped in magic and history that has become part of the fabric of Mexican culture. While set in colonial times, its themes are universal and just as relevant in the United States today.

In this time of growing awareness of the vast injustice of inequality between the rich and the poor, MACARIO is a poignant story of the wit, cleverness, and determination of those who live "hand to mouth."

To reserve discounted student matinee tickets, please send us an email including your name, school, grade, subject area, number of students, and contact phone number.
