The skit was very very short. Did enjoy the beginning where the lady gave a background of what the event meant that was moving.Written on Oct 31 2009

I'm in between this was OK and I liked it only because I felt the play was too short. The precermony and music did add a touch of authenticity. I would see it again.Written on Nov 02 2009

An odd mix of the Day of the Dead symbolism and politics, which made for a long afternoon.Written on Nov 02 2009

The brief beginning, when a woman explained the occasion, was interesting. The rest of it was a series of musical numbers which were very lame and somewhat ridiculous.Written on Nov 02 2009
