The federal government shut down does not affect operations at Glen Echo Park. The Park is open, and our arts programs are continuing as usual; however, National Park Service monthly tours are on hold until further notice. Although the Park is located within a treasured National Park, the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture is not federally funded.

    Description

    The discovery of a worn pink wrestling mask prompts Nana Lupita, a Wisconsin grandmother, to share her tale about growing up in 1960s Texas. As her tale unfolds, Lupita’s life as a teen tomboy comes alive—bike riding with her friends Leopold and Liesl, working at her father’s flower stand and lucha libre. When a World Championship match is announced, Lupita anticipates seeing it until she discovers her ailing father is one of the wrestlers. With the help of a magical mask maker, Lupita secretly trains to take her father’s place. She soon finds it difficult keeping her secret from her friends and, most importantly, her father.
