La Pastorela . . . of course!
This year it’s “La Pastorela de la Familia”!
TMM and the Old Globe Theater developed and produced the first English language pastorela in San Diego in 1991. Written entirely in verse, like a yuletide Dr. Seuss story, La Pastorela is heralded as one of the Southwest’s premier holiday productions by theater critics and audiences alike.
La Pastorela is a contemporary twist on the traditional story of the shepherds’ journey to Bethlehem to witness the first Christmas. Called to action by Archangels Michael and Gabriel, the shepherds face temptation and danger from evil Lucifer and his nasty minions. La pastorela is a folk art form that dates back to the beginning of Christianity and is the tale of the shepherd’s journey to Bethlehem to witness the first Christmas. It is the B-plot of the nativity, a journey fraught with temptations, distractions and mortal peril as the devils try to prevent the shepherds from reaching their special destination. A traditional morality play full of choices and introspection, is presented with levity, music, beautiful costumes and poetic dialogue. A true multicultural experience, the bilingual script is performed primarily in English with beautiful Christmas carols sung in Spanish.
