The Life and Times of Juanito Gonzalez is a one-man, one-act, family friendly, children’s play written and performed by Pedro Garcia. The fun and heartfelt show explores the importance of education, love and life and is set on Día de los Muertos.

Meet Juanito Gonzalez, who lived to be 100 years old, when he returns to his campo santo (cemetery) pulling an old sack of books. The magical sack contains all the books he read in his life. Today his relatives will re-live fond memories of him. Watch him jubilantly tell his story from childhood and all throughout his magnificent life.

“It will make you laugh, smile, cry a bit and most of all have a positive outlook on life! Bring the kids to see this play!” said Garcia, long time theatre actor and producer, who also directs the performance.
