Teatro Paraguas has announced the relaunching of the Teatro Paraguas Teen Ensemble, which will open with a production of Cuentos, a comedy with music by Carlos Morton and Angel Vigil.

Cuentos is a fast-moving comedy with music about a sister named Sheri (Mesa Harman) and a brother fondly known as Snake Eyes (Kingston Leyba) who hail from Denver. Their abuelita (Monica Arteaga), whom they are visiting, implores them to go to Chimayo to find Tia Juanita, who is a curandera with healing herbs and a magic spell. For abuelita has seen Doña Sebastiana at the foot of her bed, and knows that the doctor's medicine won't do her any good.

So the brother and sister hop in their parent's chevy and start to cruise to Chimayo. Along the way they encounter huge challenges: a bruja, La Llorona, and Doña Sebastiana herself (all portrayed by Miranda Sinkowitz-Arteaga). Adding to the suspense and chaos is the bruja's wily assistant duende, and the sinister la vibora (both roles played by Malina Asena-Velickovic).

Will they succeed in their mission to save abuelita, or will the forces arrayed against them prevail in the end?

JoJo Sena de Tarnoff, who is the director of the Umbrella Children's Theatre, will direct this inaugural production. The Teen Ensemble actors have all worked with JoJo for many years as members of the children's theatre. Having all graduated from that program, they wished to establish an ensemble of their own own.

JoJo and Jeff Tarnoff will accompany the actors with flute and keyboard.

Performances are Friday June 19, 2026 and Saturday June 20 at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday June 20 and Sunday June 21 at 2:00 p.m. at 3205 Calle Marie, Santa Fe. Tickets are $15 general admission, and $10 for seniors and students. Tickets may be purchased online at the Teatro Paraguas' website. Tickets are also available at the door by making reservations by calling (505) 424-1601.
