Synopsis

In a small town in the Old West, the mayor can’t keep his people from running away or dying at the hands of the local brute.

And just when things can’t get any worse, an omen predicts that a demon ghost might soon return to possess one of the town’s few remaining people, and then to ravage the rest.

Which tyrant will be more awful, the demon or the brute?

And assuming the mayor can’t save the day – for it seems he can’t do much – will Catalina, the town vagrant, be the one who steps up?

Tumacho considers hope in the face of evil, the community struggle to act, and demon cuisine, all in a deadpan ode to comedies of yore.

Press Reviews

"Tumacho is the platonic theatrical version of the artfully anarchic, shrewdly mindless comedies we wait for every summer to hit movie theaters.” - The New York Times“Top-notch actors, clever props, and tender musical numbers all working together to deliver bracing emotion amid the absurdity."
— The Village Voice“Unadulterated silliness!” - Time Out New York
