La Posada Stage Play
La Posada Stage Play
La Posada—the play, the place—a journey of riveting history, light-hearted fantasy, and the
startling genius that brought Mary Colter's 1930 masterpiece back to life. Written by Micki
Shelton and directed by Kate Hawkes, this new play blends Arizona history and fantasy to tell a
glorious story of renewal. La Posada Hotel and Gardens in Winslow, Arizona, designed by
groundbreaking architect Mary Jane Colter, opened in 1929, but closed a mere 27 years later and
fell into neglect. In the 1990s, an unlikely couple—peace activist Allan Affeldt and artist Tina
Mion—brought it back to life. This is their story. Come enjoy this timely, uplifting theatre
experience brought to life by actors, projection, staging, and costumes. La Posada plays October
6 & 7 at 7PM and October 14 at 2PM. Tickets and information at www.prescottelkstheatre.org or
call (928) 777-1370. Tickets $25—$27. Groups of 5 or more $20 and $30 at the door.
