Los Nutcrackers: A Christmas Carajo

BAAD! The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance presents the premiere production of Los Nutcrackers: A Christmas Carajo, written by Charles Rice-González and directed by George Zavala. The play interweaves two holiday classics, The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol, and creates a queer, Latino play about a gay couple who go on a psychedelic trip through their lives one Christmas Eve.

This gay, Latino comedic play centers around a couple, Carlos and Gabriel, who have been together for almost 15 years. Their arguing and fighting has reached the queer heavens from which comes a ghetto thug/diva spirit who guides them on a trip through their lives. They go from the first time they met back in 1986 at a white party at the Palladium dancing to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam’s “I Wonder If I Take You Home” to a catastrophic trip to City Center to see The Nutcracker, to a dinner party with Martha Stewart fanatics.

Schedule: December 2, 3, 10 and 11 at 8pm.
