The actors, director Carmen Aguirre, Dramaturg Brian Quirt and Musicians Nano Valverde and Marcelo Puente were in great spirits at the warm and overwhelming response to the play.

We finally did it! Three Fingered Jack & the Legend of Joaquin Murieta was a huge success at SummerWorks! The community came out in droves and we created a buzz with the show. We're all a little tired now, since it was a very intensive six weeks of preparation. Now I am going to take a little break and then begin with prep work for The Refugee Hotel. I'll be back in September with more details and our first newsletter! Have a great rest of the summer! Chao!
