"La Zapatera Prodigiosa"

The play is entirely in Spanish and is rated equivalent to a PG-13 movie. (a brief scene per scene translation in English will be available at all shows)Thirteen novice and some more-experienced RGV actors comprise the cast of the Pharr Community Theater's newest theatrical production, "La Zapatera Prodigiosa," a comedy in Spanish.
 
The play recreates an old folk tale about a hardworking but dull shoemaker who is unhappily married to a beautiful daydreamer much younger than himself. No longer able to bear the village gossip about her flirtations with other men, the shoemaker runs away.
 
Abandoned by her husband but faithful to him alone, the wife takes to supporting herself by running a tavern. The shoemaker returns, disguised as a puppeteer and is delighted to learn how much she loved her errant husband and reveals his true identity. She is at once horrified and thrilled and, despite her scolding, they stand together, united against the villagers.
