December 2nd, 3rd & 4th
10:00 am performances

Chamizal National Memorial and Outrageous Fortune Theatre Company (OFTC) are again teaming up to bring a new production by the professional Shakespearian troupe to the park’s stage for elementary audiences.

The interactive style of OFTC gives 3rd through 6th grade students a wonderful imprint of classic literature and performance, offers TEKS aligned study-guides, and pre- and post-performance activities. Each performance is 45-minutes in length and is limited to 470 seats for students, teachers and chaperones. Please call early to reserve your seats as the Memorial’s theater fills quickly.

These student presentations are sponsored by the City of El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department and the Texas Commission on the Arts.

Bus transportation funds are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Call the park’s education staff for reservations and information on receiving transportation funds: (915) 532-7273 x112.

During the talks that led up to the Chamizal Convention, instead of rendering handshakes, both Presidents Kennedy and Johnson were encouraged to greet their Mexican counterparts with an Abrazo – a customary embrace that is still widely practiced in the Southwest.
