Hiccup in a Teacup

March 4, 2017 8 – 9 p.m. March 3 – March 4

A one-act play in English with some Spanish and French, written by Candide Carrasco

Splash! It was exactly 4 p.m. when the little Comtesse Bianca Espuma del Alba let her tiny cup of tea fall on the silky tablecloth of Merlin el Encantador, causing a hiccup in the universe of Verde Luna since—when a fairy drops her tea—a new leader must be elected.

Election day is certainly not an ordinary day in Verde Luna—a beautiful and lush terrarium and the perfect home for its fantastical inhabitants. Life is sweet; their universe has been protected from the outside world for many years, and pain and tears do not exist. Some of the inhabitants of this enchanted place dream of traveling and meeting people from diverse cultures and traditions. Others want to keep living as they have always done. 

For whom should they vote? And will they decide to stay in the idyllic setting where they have been trapped, or open themselves to face the heartaches and fabulous gifts of the outside world?

Hiccup in a Teacup is a beautiful and musical play celebrating diversity and cultural awareness suggested for ages 12 and up.

Presented by the Nazareth College Foreign Languages department
