Profile
La Posada—the play, the place—a journey of riveting history, light-hearted fantasy, and the startling genius that brought Mary Colter’s 1930 masterpiece back to life.
Written by Micki Shelton and directed by Kate Hawkes, this new play blends Arizona history and fantasy to tell a glorious story of renewal. La Posada Hotel and Gardens in Winslow, Arizona, designed by groundbreaking architect Mary Jane Colter, opened in 1929, but closed a mere 27 years later and fell into neglect. In the 1990s, an unlikely couple—activist Allan Affeldt and artist Tina Mion—brought it back to life. This is their story. Come enjoy this timely, uplifting theatre experience brought to life by actors, projection, staging, and costumes. La Posada plays October 6 & 7 at 7PM and October 14 at 2PM.
Tickets $25—$27. Groups of 5 or more $20 and $30 at the door.
