Adapted from Alma Flor Ada’s cherished folktale set in Mexico, this vibrant, bilingual story follows a small but fearless lizard on a quest to bring back the missing sun. With live music, bold visuals, and a heartwarming message about perseverance and community, The Lizard & El Sol is a joyful first theater experience for young audiences and a celebration of the light we bring to the world.
The play is presented primarily in Spanish, but is designed to be enjoyed and understood by both Spanish and non-Spanish speakers..."
