Finale - Closing Day - "La Leyenda de Michi Cihualli"

Our final performance day arrived.  Our actors, dancers, musicians and tech crew felt confident and strong.  Our kids enjoyed the production from rehearsals to bows.  Amazing things happened!

Gracias to all who helped make this magic a reality...
from the kids of Ajijic and the Cochera Cultural.

We'll see you on Thursday October 8th, 2015 at the Auditorio De La Ribera, Ajijic
for the next public performance of "La Leyenda de Michi Cihualli",
kicking off the Sangre Viva Festival in Ajijic Plaza that following weekend.

Paz,

Performance Day 1 - Show Time!

I like to arrive early to the theatre before the players and tech crew....to get a sense of space and quiet....before the hum of the production begins.

Our audience was greeted by Sergio, calling the 4 directions, then leading everyone to their seats in the theatre.
