    Add Review/Comment

    Torn by treachery y tragedìa from her home in the beautiful vineyards of Mexico, Esperanza travels to California to build a new life. Once una princesa, now harvesting peaches and potatoes in the fields, her dreams are threatened by misunderstandings and the rumblings of a workers' strike in the midst of the Great Depression. Esperanza learns to be more than she ever thought possible . . . and she realizes that family, hope, and roses can blossom even on a dusty farm far from home. Aquel que hoy se cae, se levantará mañana.

        I found the performance exhilarating, visceral, and engaging. The reactions of the women in the room to the play were spot on with the playwright's vision of how we view this crime in society. The acting was sharp, there was little to no hesitation with lines, presence,or choerography. This Cougar was impressed! Collapse

        Dr. Bush is a great musicologist and organ performer. His profound knowledge and love for Baroque music makes a great event out of every one of his recitals and concerts. Highly recommended for anybody who loves the colors of sound and the grandiosity of the King of Instruments! Collapse

        I am so excited to find out that Chris Dunker has photographed the Geneva Steel Plant. Every time I drove down Geneva Road during the dismantling and saw the smoke stacks silouetted against the sunset, I would think "I'd love to go out there and photograph all of it". But I'm just a middle-aged woman who is not in a position to do such a project. I'm so happy to find out there is someone who did!! I can't wait to go and see the exhibit! I'll let you know what I think! Collapse
