Now Playing (December 10-23, Friday - Sunday): Too Many Tamales
It is Christmas Eve, Maria and her mother prepare tamales for a family gathering. The mother takes off her beautiful ring, a gift from her husband, fearing that it might fall off into the masa. Maria admires the ring and against her mother’s wishes she puts the ring on her finger.

Time passes, family members arrive, and Maria is busy playing with her cousins when suddenly she realizes that the ring is missing. She quickly enlists her cousins to eat all of the tamales until they find the ring. Consequently, Maria and her cousins learn a very valuable lesson about listening and obeying their parents. The play ends with an uplifting sing-a-long of Feliz Navidad.
