Teatro Dallas has announced its 2012-'13 season, which begins this weekend with its annual Days of the Dead production.
The season continues next year with an import dance/theater piece based on Federico Garcia Lorca's Blood Wedding, and then moves into a series of to-be-announced staged readings, followed by a family production of Mexican folk tales.
Here's more about the season:
