L. Brazil Drama y Teatro

We desire to develop the ability to produce and/or sponsor quality theater productions and provide drama and theater-related workshops and courses for the Cabo Rojo community.

Please join us for an original adaptation of Charles Dickens’s classic holiday story, A Christmas Carol.  Our rendition differs significantly in many respects from the version we are familiar with.  Our version features an Emily Scrooge who, throughout a rather strange Christmas Eve, is confronted with her past, present, and presumably future.  Through live theater, film, and live music, we witness our Emily Scrooge attempt to find some reckoning with her ever-present adversary, time.  Emily is different and has always been different—and with the guidance or misguidance of four well-intentioned but often humorously inept spirits—Emily ultimately finds redemption in the acceptance of herself as she is, as she’s always been—and in so doing, Emily, on behalf of her young friend, challenges time itself. 

This production is part of Us & Friends: Education for Everyone’s Drama and English-as-a-Second Language programs; the play is directed in and performed in English.  This time last year, Taineé Ojeda (Emily Scrooge) began taking our Basic Conversational English 1 Course; now, a year later, she is the leading role in a play performed in English!  We have a wonderful, hard-working, and very talented cast, ranging in age from 8 – 16 years old, along with two adults.  Please join us!
