Wingate, N.C. - La Culebra and Snow in Jerusalem will be presented at Wingate University's George A. Batte Fine Arts Center on Oct. 1, 9:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. and Oct 2 at 3 p.m.
La Culebra is a Mexican folk tale adapted by Pamela Gerke. The story from the Aztec culture features a Mexican farmer who helps a snake, La Culebra. The play introduces many Spanish words for animals.
Snow in Jerusalem is based on the book by Deborah da Costa, adapted by Peter Engels. It is a story of two boys who live in Jerusalem’s Old City's Jewish Quarter and Muslim Quarter. A fluffy white cat wanders between the homes of the two boys, relishing the scraps each feeds her. As a rare snowfall begins, the boys stop bickering and, fearing that the beloved animal will freeze, follow her through Jerusalem to a dark alley where they discover four kittens in a box.
Tickets for both two plays are $5 and children are free. For more information about this event please call 704-233-8316, or visit www.wingate.edu/culture.
