El Duende

Is the horse upside down or the words? It's your call...

El Duende, based on Columbian folklore is BooTown’s Halloween show this year. For the past two years BooTown has done spooky themed shows Fitcher’s A Bastard (But His Birds Alright) in 2007 and Spaghetti Head last year.

El Duende is about a young married couple, myself and Colleen Moore, going to the country for a funeral. The husband is introduced to the strange family, played by Hoja Lopez, Jared Doreck, Blair Knowles, and David Glenn Spencer,  and traditions that his wife wishes she left behind. We soon learn that there is more than just embarrassing family members that makes the wife not want to return to the country…(scary music here).

This show is improvisational, based off an outline written by BooTown and carefully overseen by director Emily Hynds. I have had a blast working on this show and think that it will be fun to watch. It is outdoors in a back yard so bring a jacket!
