The Asolo continues its season with the timeless play, Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town,” directed by Desdemona Chiang. Any time I see this classic piece on stage I am drawn to its simplicity.

The venue has a very 'speakeasy vibe,' perfect for a drinking club with a Shakespeare problem. Before seeing the show, I got to interview Lisa Klages, the Associate Director and Production Manager, as well as Nate Betancourt, the drunk actor at that night's performance

I loved The Prom and if I could, I would watch it again and again and again, because to bring this great story to life, they needed an exceptional company and they found it.

I'm glad and proud that here in Mexico City, we have plays and musicals with this quality, made with effort, passion and love.

There are shows that make you laugh and others that make you cry. We go to the theatre and are swept away by all kinds of emotions. Some shows make us angry and others inspire hope.

Such a moment is where we find ourselves in Cherry Creek Theatre's latest production, Jest a Second.

As kids, around the holidays, it was always fun to sing alternative lyrics to songs, especially Jingle Bells. If you are like me, just hearing Jingle Bells puts you into the holiday spirit.
