WASHINGTON POST "Teatro de la Luna's Hot Hot Hot Nights"
BOB ANTHONY
"Teatro de la Luna starts off with a big bang"
Uniting people from Spain to México, and from there all Hispanic
people - without forgetting our Caribbean colleagues - until we arrive in
Argentina. Uniting talents through award-winning Hispanic productions. Uniting
the need to share this work with others. Now, especially, we walk together
towards "Theater for the People".

America has signified adventure, immensity, richness, the uncle ‘over there’,
film stars, technology … America is “in”, “with it”, “wow” and “cool”. America
is IT.

Who says Theater of the Absurb isn’t logical? Especially as it
flies us through stories we are told are for children yet, as adults, we still
don’t understand.

…to dream…
Carlos and Emiliano are much more than voices and guitars. They
are the feeling, the wistful, romantic expression of the entire Yucatan. For
lovers of love …

"Tres Noches Tropicales," written and directed by Puerto Rican
dramatist (and honorary festival president) Myrna Casas, offers a slice out of
the lives of Raquelita, a well-baubled Cuban housewife; Yaya, a trashy
"masseuse"; and Gloria, a hopelessly drunk tarot-card reader.

Last weekend at Arlington's Gunston Arts Center, performer Angela Meyer sang a
few songs, told a few stories, and generally worked the room like a seasoned
Vegas lounge act.
Two
sisters who took differing roads meet again. Like life itself, these vital and
intense characters will take us down the path of hilarity and compassion.
