NYCCT Brings Interactive Bilingual Play ¡CORRE, ABUELITE, RUN! to All Five Boroughs This Fall

New York City Children's Theater's world premiere production, ¡Corre, Abuelita, Run!, will visit Brooklyn Children's Museum, NY Botanical Garden, Staten Island Children's Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Queens Museum this fall.

¡Corre, Abuelita, Run! is an interactive bilingual performance that seamlessly blends Spanish and English. Through language, music, puppetry, and movement, young audience members will embark on a journey through the vibrant and diverse neighborhoods of New York City. The heartwarming story follows Emily's Abuelita, or grandmother, who participates in the NYC marathon on the first Sunday of November. With the audience's help, Emily hopes to reach Central Park in time to cheer her Abuelita as she crosses the finish line.

¡Corre, Abuelita, Run! will be performing at

¡Corre, Abuelita, Run! is free with admission to the museum or garden. Please visit nycchildrenstheater.org/shows-and-events/ for information on each performance. The show runs approximately 30 minutes and is best for ages 2-5.

Director Sammy Lopez says, "Creating this show, inspired by my real-life Abuelita, is not only a dream come true-but it's an opportunity to share with our youngest audiences the power of community. I've brought so much love and joy to the development of this story that offers audiences the chance to see culture uplifted in an interactive theatre environment."

¡Corre, Abuelita, Run! is NYCCT's second mainstage touring production, following Storyland Cabaret which re-opened the theater's in-person programming and toured to the five New York boroughs in 2021.
