Join us for the Cinemacast of La Posada, a journey of riveting history, light-hearted fantasy, and startling genius—a magical love story of activist Allan Affeldt and artist Tina Mion as they create something brilliant from the ashes of history. Originally performed live at the Elks Theatre in 2023.

La Posada Hotel and Gardens in Winslow, Arizona, opened in 1929, closed a mere 27 years later, and was neglected until the 1990s, when through countless struggles, hard work, and passion, Allan, Tina, and a tiny team of artisans brought Mary Colter’s favorite building back to life.

Today the real hotel glows with life and art, music and beauty, as well as an enduring (if perhaps fanciful) history. Micki’s play mirrors that romantic world and its inspiring story on stage—with live music and projected images enhancing the captivating power of live actors who bring the words and the world to life. In just over 2 hours, you are a traveler in time, leaving with the gift of hope and the promise of possibilities.
