Two well-conceived characters - both physically and spiritually - create
this portrait of “a class of old women” who practice a way of being and
a way of life ... From what they say and what they keep to themselves,
we become avid confidants of their thoughts and naughtiness.

Una taza de té para |

A Cup of Tea for a Married Lady |
|
|
written by
Eugenio Hernández |
directed by Alina Marrero |
performed by
Xiomara Rodríguez |
|
|
The
actress sings, laughs and cries, leading the audience to explore
its feelings, all the while exposing women as men’s objects of
desire. Taught to be submissive; and neglected and mistreated by
inequality and machismo, even where they least expect it.

The classic tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” by Charles Perrault, adapted for the theater with dialogue, song and dance, offers the valuable lesson that all children have the right to play, learn and have fun. Through some very humorous characters, we are reassured that life is beautiful and we should enjoy every moment…at our own pace!
These characters come alive to teach us how lovely life is—if we just take a moment to dream together. They also remind us of something we must never forget: Each of us carries a child in our heart.
DC Metro Theater Arts "If more children’s
theatre was like Yo la Llamo Rusita Rojas, I’d go more often." "...energetic
adaptation of Charles Perrault’s Little Red Riding Hood." "The stage... was
lit up by three talented actors..." "Although most of the text is in Spanish
and I only speak a little, I stayed engaged the whole time because of the
energy and physicality." |
