Program Description

Event Details

On her birthday, Carmela's greatest wish has already come true—she's finally old enough to accompany her big brother on the family's daily errands. As they journey through their vibrant neighborhood, past familiar sights like the busy bus stop, the local repair shop, and the panadería, Carmela discovers a single dandelion growing in the pavement outside the Laundromat. But before she can blow its delicate seeds into the wind, her brother reminds her of the importance of making a wish. If only she could find the perfect wish...This play is a heartfelt celebration of family, dreams, and finding hope in the most unexpected places. Carmela Full of Wishes will inspire audiences of all ages to cherish the small moments that make life extraordinary. This performance will be performed by the Metro Theater Company.

Carmela Full of Wishes was written by Alvaro Saar Rios, based on the book by Matt de la Peña.
