The Odyssey Theatre Ensemble is presenting Octovio Solis’s La Posada Magica with music by Marcos Loya, opening December 3 through December 24 only.  Performed in English with a Latin beat, this musical play blends the traditions of Mexican street theatre and Latin jazz. Gracie is a young girl who joins her neighborhood posada on Christmas Eve. Along the way, she and her companions encounter colorful characters, including chocolate-gobbling sisters, graveyard spooks and a heartthrob rock singer.
