Grand Theatre Offers Perdida, Adaptation of Shakespeare Play


The Grand Theatre will host Perdida, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. The show runs Oct. 12 - 28.

With book and lyrics written by Kathleen Cahill and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, the production is set in pre-revolutionary Mexico. As the drama of Shakespeare merges with the Latino style of magical realism in this new musical, you’ll be taken to a world filled with spirits, telling a story of passion, jealousy, and redemption.

When a powerful don believes that his pregnant wife has been unfaithful, his reaction affects him and his newborn daughter for the rest of their lives. It is only through the vision and courage of an abandoned child, Perdida, that all that was lost is finally found again. Dealing with themes of life and death, the story centers on Day of the Dead, the Mexican celebration where families gather together to celebrate their loved ones who have passed away.


As part of the Backstage Series at the Grand Theatre, Perdida, is under the direction of Larry West and Emilio Casillas, with Mike Leavitt as musical director and Frida Moses as choreographer. Tickets are $20 and are available at www.GrandTheatreCompany.com.
