District 2-4a champions Rimers of Eldritch
Once again the kids step up to the plate and hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth with the game tied and two outs in the books. Clearly the best performance of the year last night. We had a few line flubs but the kids didn't get rattled and they proceeded to blow everybody else out of the water. Congratulations go out to Ysleta high school who advanced to the area competition along with us. Luren Ruiz won the best actress award with her performance of Eva Jackson. All-star cast: Jasmine Cobos, David Estrada, Josh Lopez, Jackie Gomez, and Cynthia Jimenez. Maria Edwards won an honorable mention award. The tech crew also won best technical crew award. We will perform next Thursday at the Chamizal for the area championship. Out theatre company has won the district title four out of the past five years.
Thoughts from the Chamizal from our Light person Nidia Aguilera
The race towards a competitive streak has begun
Yesterday,
at first, was extremely tiring, with wind of almost 50 mph blowing across us, taking us unexpectedly...just like we did in our night's performance of Rimers of Eldritch at The Chamizal Theatre. Before we presented that night, we attended our tech rehearsal which took place around 12:30 p.m., we didn't think we had a winning chance, we were frightened at the fact that this can actually be our last time rehearsing and performing this breath taking and moral inspiring play. We were nervous, I always am, so I ignored my own pressure in which was put upon our director(s) to do an incredible job on my, ok, ok their light board. We had many hours ahead of us before we were up to perform, about 7 or 8 hours. Imagine being together with actors and actresses that are "divas". A weird experience, none the less. It in fact was a long and hard day.
But after looking at it in winning eyes, it was a night that should have been enjoyed and pondered long after the stage lights have dimmed and the play has ended.
