Doña Rosita’s Jalapeño Kitchen & Rosita’s Day of the Dead

Two Beloved Plays! In Doña Rosita’s Jalapeño Kitchen, Doña Rosita invites the audience to the "Last Supper" in the Salsipuedes barrio. Treating the audience as guests in her restaurant, Doña Rosita contemplates selling her restaurant/home of 23 years to a big-time commercial real estate developer. In Rosita’s Day of the Dead, the stage is set as Rosita cooks late into the night, dishing out recipes and juicy stories about the living, the dead, and the people who fall in between.
