MILWAUKEE — First Stage Theater presents a delightful adaptation of the popular children’s book “Carmela Full of Wishes.” It is a story about a little girl dealing with real-life issues of family, survival, and deportation.
“It’s not a sad story, it’s a real story,” said Director Michelle Lopez Rios. “I love this because representation matters. When we see ourselves on stage, we think my story’s important.”
Art is a wonderful form of communication, as this play shows not only how we experience life differently, but our similarities as well.
This family-oriented production offers sensory-friendly performances and is playing at the Todd Wehr Theater through Feb. 12.
