Teatro Vivo in Austin, Texas has offered the Mexican-American cultural tradition of “La Pastorela” semi-annually for over two decades. This interactive session will illustrate how the bilingual theatre company has deepened its community engagement over those years to now include full audience participation in its newest iteration of the enduring story. Roxanne Schroeder-Arce and Mateo Hernandez share insights into this evolution towards the production now serving as a site to build micro-communities with youth and adults.
