Dear Audience,
Christmas has always been a magical time for me, filled with the warmth of family, tradition, and love. Growing up, I remember the joy of gathering together to celebrate, sharing laughter, food, and enjoying all the craziness of family that makes the season feel so special. After my father’s passing 2 years ago, those moments became even more precious. The holiday season became not just about joy, but also about reflection—cherishing the memories we’ve built and the loved ones who continue to shape our lives.
Xmas Cuento Remix beautifully captures the spirit of family, community, and the transformative power of love and generosity. At its heart, it’s a story about reconnecting—with our roots, with the people who matter most, and with the essence of what makes life meaningful. Dolores’ journey reminds us that even in our hardest moments, there is always room for healing, hope, and reconnection.
This play is a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the joy that comes from giving to others. My hope is that it inspires you to reflect on the connections in your own life and to hold your loved ones a little closer this holiday season.
I would like to dedicate this performance to the memory of my father Roy Islas, who was always my biggest supporter.
Thank you for sharing in this special story with us.
Sincerely,
Anastacia Islas
