by Carolyn Chatwin Murset<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Grandma Tila tells more family stories from her point of view as a spirit returning to earth. She catches up on some modern life details. Trails of Tila<\/span> is an additional montage of stories based on the life of author Carolyn Murset’s lively Latina Grandmother Domitila (Tila) Miera Trujillo’s life during the first half of the twentieth century in northern New Mexico. This\u00a0 one-woman musical follows Tales of Tila,<\/span> Carolyn’s original musical.
\nTila was the wife of a shepherd, and a mother of ten who joyfully navigated her way through the Spanish Flu Epidemic, the Great War (WW1), the Great Depression, World War 2, and the creation of the Atomic Bomb. Her husband, Juan Manuel Trujillo built government housing in the Secret City of Los Alamos, New Mexico during the mid 1940’s and the family lived there a few years later.
\nTila tells stories of cultural New Mexican Christmas traditions, and how she left trails for other to follow. She encourages readers to leave a written trail and a physical trail for others to remember them by. In both plays, Tila returns after being gone since 1971 and interprets current events through the eyes of someone who’s been away for several decades. Get your Spanglish on!<\/p>\n

This musical, for solo performance, follows up on the “Tales of Tila” show which Carolyn has toured across the nation, even at the United Solo Festival in NYC.<\/p>\n
