I visited Bryan High School for a shadow puppet show in the library, Gratos Recuerdos presented by Great Plains Theatre Commons. The program says this is the world premier of Gratos Recuerdos which means fond memories. It started with a Mexican dance with balancing a candle on the head. Then it went on to show relationships and a young woman who misses her dog and grandmother and visits them on Day of the Dead. The show had no dialogue. It did have "Hasta Luego" written in the last scene. There was guitar throughout written to follow the story. So the story was told through guitar and the puppets.
