___triple play

___last night, 07/16/09, we put in some extra time on our playwriting project which is gaining momentum and some fame around the LCC campus . We "read" thru three ten minute plays prsented by our budding authors and here is a short summary of what they were
___first up was a brilliant effort by Maria Eugenia Lopez, an adaptation on the short story "The Chase"by John Collier. The setting is local and involves a young man with a very personal who is advised to go visit a "Cura", in this case not a Priest but rather a local Curandero. It is a play on language and the communication problems that sometimes occur. We shall see hos it turns out but it looks promising.
___Raquel Valle-Senties, our recognized resident authoress, delighted us with a fair sample of why sometimes all of us are sometimes late. It is both humorous and teaches us a short lesson about the importance of arriving on time. Again, this is an excellent effort on her part and we might soon begin recording on this marvelous creation.
___Roberto Gutierrez presented his revamped work on what was formerly titled "El Santo Y la Muerte. This time the name has been changed to "La Venganza de El Chivo" and has gained many new details and possible story plot lines. It is a continuing work in progress.
___all in all it was an enjoyable evening spent gaining an insight into what promises to be an extended project, this new summer theater playwriting workshop.
