Puebla: The Story of Cinco de Mayo Tickets

Puebla: The Story of Cinco de Mayo is a vibrant, cross-cultural performance by Calpulli Mexican Dance Company. Conceived by Alberto Lopez Herrera, co-founder and director, this production honors Puebla, Mexico and Mexican-American heritage through a dynamic blend of folk and native dance paired with live music. Since its premiere in 2019 at Queens Theatre and the Basie Center for the Arts, the show has extended its reach with touring support from the NEFA National Dance Project, bringing the story to schools, communities, and public stages across the United States.

Designed to educate and inspire, Puebla uses movement, music, and storytelling to illuminate the Cinco de Mayo narrative. It’s a favorite for school assemblies and community outreach, as well as stage performances for general audiences. As part of Calpulli’s touring repertoire, the work continues to travel with education offerings and public performances, under the representation of Love Productions for national engagements.

Tour 2025 highlights include engagements at Lehigh University’s Zoellner Arts Center on April 4, 2025; the Count Basie Center for the Arts (The Vogel Theatre) in Red Bank, NJ on May 5, 2025; Queens Theatre (Arts on Stage) in Long Island City, NY around May 8, 2025; and the College of Staten Island Williamson Theater, around May 8, 2025, plus related school shows in early May 2025.
