THE BROTHERS GRIMM SPECTACULATHON
By Don Zolidis
Directed by Carlos-Manuel
In this wild, fast paced fairy tale extravaganza, a group of actors attempt to combine over 200 Brothers Grimm fairy tales into one massive story. While some stories and characters will be familiar to you, don’t expect a happy ending for everyone. Make no mistake, these aren’t your grandmother’s fairy tales. These are your Brothers’… Grimm.

Directed by Ed Trujillo
Set in Sinaloa, Mexico in 1992, Don Ernesto is a Narco king who has a young girl named Eva being trained by nuns to become his loyal subservient wife. He sends his wise-cracking house keeper Armida to get the girl via train. While they wait at the train station Eva has a love at first site encounter with Mario Grande Jr. who is there for his father’s funeral and Don Ernesto’s rival Narco enemy!
