Every Christmas, communities across California put their own stamp on las posadas, traditional Mexican processions to celebrate the nativity. This weekend in Sacramento, one of those processions starts off on the streets, and then heads into a theater. In "La Pastorela de Sactown," a bilingual cast of musicians and actors will stage a satirical holiday musical about three shepherds, with very modern lives. Host Sasha Khokha talks with director Wilma Bonet.
