It is indisputable that we are a community of immigrants, with an extraordinary cultural richness in Lawrence, but we need someone to remind us and guide us. Lucky for us Lawrencians we have in our backyard more than one, but especially Father Joel Almonó that when asked to spell the word No, he says smiling: Y E S.
To Almonó there are no obstacles. He and his team have taken upon the Theatre Festival which luckily for us, in this its fifth year have brought us a glory of the Dominican theater, internationally known. We refer to Delta Soto, to whom the festival was dedicated.
Juan Carlos Mañón, a member of the organizing committee as general coordinator and also directs the Teatro Renovación group, appeared in CrossOver program that airs on the WCCM1110-AM and said he was very pleased with the attendance during the past three weeks. For our part, we believe it should have been greater. We hope that this Sunday the 29th the play Barrabas will be a sellout. The titanic work of Father Joel Almonó and his team, bringing to us the best of theater, deserve so.
