Dia de los Muertos 2008
Oakland Improv Collective will be performing at 3 venues again this year for the Day of the Dead. This time, however, we will be venturing further afield–OIC has been invited to participate in Petaluma’s Dia de los Muertos festival, to be held at the Petaluma Art Center. For more information, visit www.petalumaartscouncil.org.
In addition, we have been invited by artist Peter Perez to perform at his altar at the Oakland Fruitvale festival. The Dia de los Muertos festival in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood is one of the largest celebrations of the holiday in the United States–over 80,000 people are expected to attend this one-day event. This will be the Oakland Improv Collective’s 2nd year at the festival. The Fruitvale festival takes place this year on October 26. For more information, visit www.unitycouncil.org.
Finally, we will once again be performing at the Oakland Museum’s Dia de los Muertos exhibit at First Fridays on Friday, November 5. For more information, visit www.museumca.org.
All of these events are FREE and open to the public.
