Synopsis
Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas. A low fence separates their gardens, but much more divides them from each other. One grows flowers; the other raises vegetables. One was born in the U.S., the other in Mexico. One speaks English, the other Spanish. Their differences have kept them so far apart that if one predicts a sunny day, then the other is certain of rain. Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement—until the resulting mariposa/butterfly, and its eventual departure, unites them in wonder, sadness and a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.

Customer Reviews
- "Mariposa/Butterfly is a wonderful short play in both Spanish and English ... We performed at a library and an elementary school where almost all of the students spoke Spanish and English. They loved the humor in the play and were in awe of the butterfly puppets. We hope to perform this again!"
- Review by Catherine LaMoreaux, Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center, Plainfield, N.J.
- "This turned into a lovely show, performed for all ages, and brought joy to all who participated."
