Austin Scottish Rite Theater’s Día de los Muertos family show has been so popular and well-received over the past few years, that it’s back again this October for more kids to enjoy! Based on the award-winning children’s book by Erich Haeger and Eric González, Rosita y Conchita is a show for all ages featuring rhyming bilingual dialogue and a touching tale. You can see it on Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. & 1 p.m. now through Oct. 30, 2022.
In this play, two sisters try to reunite on the Day of the Dead. Along the way Rosita keeps getting lost, but she miraculously finds her way to Conchita through familiar sounds, sights and smells. This production also features live son jarocho music!
Tickets & Parking: You can get tickets online here until one hour before show time, but tickets are also sold at the door. Tickets are $15 for senior 55 and up; $20 general admission for ages 12 and up; and $15 for children under 12; under 2 years are free. Free parking is available in a small lot at the theater, and metered street parking is also easy to find nearby. For more info, visit scottishritetheater.org.
As with all children’s plays at Austin Scottish Rite Theater, kids are invited to come early to check out the grand lobby. Once the theatre doors open, kids are invited to sit on the carpets near the stage to get up-close to all of the action and enjoy the best seats in the house. This historic theater is small, which means there is not a bad seat in the house.
