There are two matinees on Sunday, December 17th at 10:30 and 2:30, you can change the showtime using "other times" above ^^
This December, the Zilker Botanical Garden and Teatro de la Tierra are proud to present; Beto, Beto el Abeto, a play that blends languages, cultures, genres, and biological kingdoms in an inventive, unorthodox approach to Christmas amidst a world that is changing rapidly.
The play is very a playful adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Fir Tree, tinted with memories of Nochebuena – Christmas Eve in Spanish-speaking, Latin American countries–, and just the right amount of science. It runs for around 70 minutes with no intermission, and it is performed in English and in Spanish, alternating languages between performances. Beto is well suited for audiences 11 and up (or younger audiences who are okay sitting down for that uninterrupted amount of time.)
The tickets are valued at around $35 each, so any donation you and your family are able to offer at checkout will allow us to continue offering programming like Beto in the future!
If you have questions about trigger warnings or the content of the play, please get in touch with Teatro de la Tierra via Instagram: @delatierrateatro or via email at: hola@teatrodelatierra.com
Teatro de la Tierra is a theater company fiscally sponsored by the Austin Creative Alliance. This project has been financed in whole or in part by the City of Austin's Elevate Grant Program.
This performance will be in English.
