Como La Flor: The Selena MusicalComo La Flor: The Selena Musical

Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25 at 8:00 PM


A musical tribute to the slain Tejano singer, starring Andrea Gomez. Until her untimely death at age 23, Selena was the sexy and charismatic 'Queen of Tejano.'

Tejano music is a South Texas creation which uses guitars and accordions to blend Mexican music with European polkas and waltzes. 

Selena was raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, and before she turned 10 she was already fronting the family band, Los Dinos.

Their 1989 album Selena y Los Dinos put them on the map, and the 1992 album Entre a Mi Mundo (Enter My World) went gold. Still unknown in much of America, Selena became a star in Mexico and Latin America, known both for her Spanish-language hits and her wholesome appeal.

Dreaming of You, her final album, was released posthumously in the early summer. The album went straight to the number one spot on the Billboard chart and sold over a million copies.

The crossover success that Selena had always hoped for had finally come and the album's success brought Tejano music to millions of fans who previously knew nothing about this genre of music.

Tickets: $15 per person

An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf

August 21- September 13, 2009


On this hot July night in 1961, waitress Mimi and chef Gaston await the arrival of their Café's owner. Victor returns from the bullfights in Madrid, disheveled, too depressed to eat and without the beautiful Madame. The hilarious staff attempt to unravel the strange events in Spain and lift Victor’s spirits with a sumptuous meal on empty plates. Come to Paris for a feast celebrating cooking, sex, bullfighting and a little Ernest Hemingway. Operatic looniness!
