Las Nuevas Tamaleras

The popular holiday comedy hit, “Las Nuevas Tamaleras,” written by Latina playwright, Alicia Mena, opens the 2017 season on November 24 and runs through December 10. 

This charming Christmas play is considered as much a tradition as the “Nutcracker”, “A Christmas Carol”, and “It’s a Wonderful Life,” in San Antonio, with people anxiously awaiting its return year after year!  It has become a genuine part of the holidays along with the annual “Tamalada.”

The play captures three Latinas in an uproariously comical attempt at making tamales for the first time.  Things become even more entertaining when the spirits of two seasoned tamaleras appear to help the novices make the perfect tamal!

Burras Finas Productions and Las Nuevas Tamaleras 2018 production is a proud community partner of San Antonio’s 300th, Tricentennial Celebration.
