The Experience
The show starts at 8:00 pm on Saturday at Av. Francisco Pimentel 14, San Rafael. It is the last slot of the day there: the evening holds the pastorela and not much else. The space is small, with the stage just a few metres from the seats. Hold a spot on WhatsApp ahead of time, because there are only two Saturdays.
About the Play
Pastorela tradicional is the pastorela by Teama Producciones in the November line-up of Foro Off Spring, with performances on Saturday November 21 and Saturday November 28 at 8:00 pm in San Rafael. It is Mexico's signature Christmas-season genre, and the venue brings it forward almost a month before the posadas start on December 16, so you can see one without waiting for December. Admission is by voluntary conscious donation and a spot is held via WhatsApp, with no online ticket. These two dates close the venue's Saturday programme for the month.
This Is for You If…
- You want to see a pastorela before the December posada season begins.
- You are looking for a Saturday night plan in San Rafael at a small venue.
- You enjoy Mexican traditional theatre and prefer donating instead of buying a ticket.

What makes a pastorela traditional?
A traditional pastorela keeps the genre's structure: shepherds on the road to Bethlehem, archangels and the confrontation with Luzbel, with verse dialogue and music. It is the form performed in Mexico since colonial times and the one tied to December posadas.
Is there a recommended age?
The venue's line-up does not publish a recommended age for this pastorela. Pastorelas are usually suitable for general audiences; if you are coming with children, check on WhatsApp before reserving a spot.
How do I hold a spot and how do I pay?
A spot is held through the venue's WhatsApp using the button on this page; at the door you leave a voluntary conscious donation. There is no ticket sale and no online payment.
