Teatro Vivo’s bilingual comedy offers a farcical look at a community facing a food shortage during a difficult economic time. It takes a look into the lives of two couples struggling between good and starvation.  

Antonia and Margarita are magicians at paying bills without money, cooking gourmet meals with pet food, and lying to their husbands. When the neighborhood supermarket begins to double their prices of food and the local factory is laying off 6,000 employees, the neighborhood panics, setting off a chain reaction of lies, mishaps, pregnant 80 year old women and a “miracle” by Santa Eulalia.

¡Ay, Dios mio! Who said a recession couldn't be funny?
