Bienvenido to the Teatro de Mexico, where a troupe of spirited players perform on three beautiful stages. Drawing on the exuberant iconography of the skeleton in Mexican culture, Bunny Pierce Huffman has created whimsical, multidimensional scenes of Mexican life circa 1900, enacted by skeleton figures similar to those in Day of the Dead tableaux and in Mexican folk art, satire, and drama.

The sturdy, foldout sets--complete with eighteen die-cut, scored, stand-up props and figures--are easily assembled with just a little tape; the sets can be fastened together to form a hexagonal theater or mounted as three separate stages. A unique diversion for all ages, this toy theater can also be used as a festive tabletop decoration for parties or as part of a personalized Day of the Dead altar. A six-page bilingual booklet provides assembly instructions and an explanation of the customs that have inspired this theater.

Cigar box-style packaging (8 3/8 x 9 3/4 x 1 1/4") with three foldout stage sets, each measuring 16 x 9 3/4", 18 punch-out props and figures, and 6-page bilingual booklet. ISBN: 0-7649-2584-9.
