A Dia de los Muertos musical visits the Harris Center in the corporeal form of Sugar Skull. Vita doesn’t really get why her family wants to spend a day celebrating the spirits of family members who have already passed on. But everything changes when a friendly skeleton whisks her off to sing and dance with the undead. The multicultural performing arts ensemble Mexico Beyond Mariachi presents this colorful adventure that celebrates Mexican tradition and folklore, and has plenty of dancing skeletons, too.
