PASTORELA FRONTERIZA
(Borderland Shepherd’s Play)
In English with some Spanish
By Carlos Morton
Directed by Alejandro Moreno
A bold reimagining of a beloved Mexican tradition, Pastorela Fronteriza blends ancient storytelling with sharp social satire. Set along the U.S./Mexico border, this contemporary Christmas play follows a group of shepherds whose spiritual journey is challenged by devilish temptations. Guided by the North Star, they cross into a surreal landscape where a flashy shopping mall—and a cunning Santa in disguise—threaten to distract them from their sacred path. Written by acclaimed playwright Carlos Morton, this borderland pastorela is a vibrant, thought-provoking celebration of hope, resilience, and holiday spirit.
