Carmela Full of Wishes Takes the Stage
Carmela Full of Wishes is a stage adaptation of the cherished picture book by Matt de la Peña, illustrated by Christian Robinson. The story follows a young girl named Carmela who, on her birthday, accompanies her brother to complete his errands and discovers a lone dandelion on a city sidewalk — and with it, the power of a single, heartfelt wish. The narrative is a celebration of family, community, hope, and the magic that lives inside everyday moments.
As a theatrical production, Carmela Full of Wishes transforms that intimate picture book experience into a living, breathing stage event. The Alliance Theatre is precisely the kind of venue built to honor this type of story — one that speaks to children with the full force of its imagination while giving adults every reason to be equally moved.
