Follow Dolores, a Cuban dancer who dreams of opening a beachside restaurant, as she stumbles from one zany adventure to another in Viva Sapato! The action starts when Dolores receives a pair of shoes from her aunt. Having expected the money to start the restaurant, Delores is disgusted, and she sells the shoes. Then she finds out her aunt hid the money in one of the heels. Oops! Frantic, she tries to chase down the shoes, but itยs not so easy.
The Portuguese-language Viva Sapato! is a lighthearted romp, filled with offbeat characters and quirky situations. (And yes, there are subtitles.) 8 p.m. Houston Arts Alliance, 3201 Allen Parkway. For information, call 713-862-3300 or visit www.brazilianarts.org. Free.
