Mamá Goose

Based on Mamá Goose: a Latino Nursery Treasury by Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy

Mamá Goose is a children’s play loosely adapted from Mamá Goose: a Latino Nursery Treasury/Un Tesoro de rimas infantiles. The show opens with fours actors playing and singing: “Cantamos! Jugemos! Cantamos y jugemos! Let’s sing! Let’s play! Let’s sing and play!”. After a series of escapades revolving around the discovery of an extraordinary egg, each child wrestles with the desire to keep the egg for themselves. The children’s Abuela teaches them the value of sharing and the children come to the conclusion that the egg wasn’t one person’s, but everyone’s: “Compartimos. We share. It’s ours. Es nuestro.” This workshop production is lead by Libby Hawkins and Alejandro Saucedo, with costume design by Tori Gonzales, props by Justin Miller, ASL coaching by Laurel Whitsett, and choreography by Claudia Pacheco Oracasitos.
