A new production presented by Teatro Nuevo México and directed by Salomé Martínez Lutz opens this Friday, Feb. 13, at 8 p.m. at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Veteran actors, playwrights, directors, designers and community activists formed Teatro Nuevo México last year with the goal of cultivating new talent, exploring Latino culture and presenting positive images of Latino people to New Mexico audiences.
El Jardín will continue to run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Feb. 22. If your Spanish is a little rusty, don't sweat it. I'm told most of the play will be in English, and I'm sure, smart cookie that you are, you'll be able to figure out the few sparse lines of Spanish from the context. It should be a very good show. Tickets are $15 and $12. To make reservations, or for more information, call 792-5829.
