In the basement cafeteria of St. Nicholas School in Egg Harbor City, NJ, the Latiné community held a huge celebration every January 6th to celebrate the Feast of Los Reyes Magos. For writer and performer Iraisa Ann Reilly, the fiesta in 1998 changed the course of her life forever. Reilly recounts four years’ worth of Reyes Magos celebrations, introducing the audience to members of her family and her hometown where she grew up between language and culture. This interactive one-woman show invites the audience to celebrate and reclaim the date, January 6th.
