Photo of the Day: Roosevelt & Opción Múltiple
Today, students from two high schools, Riverdale and Roosevelt, were at Milagro for a matinee of Opción Múltiple, the dark comedy in Spanish playing through the end of the month. After the performance, the group from Roosevelt High had the opportunity to share questions and feedback with director Nelda Reyes and her cast. The students’ perspective was that much richer since they had the opportunity to read the script and meet the playwright before coming to the show. Make sure to get tickets and catch the show before it closes Feb. 28,...

read moreThe ladies of Opción Múltiple: Petra, portrait of a vixen (bilingüe)
PETRA: Like blind passion itself, she is at once desired and feared. She is not ruthless, however, simply attuned to her desires… and hers only. Always impeccably made-up, even to lounge at home, her instincts are as sharp as her nails and she is ever ready to entrap or capture whomever stands in her way or can make her goals possible, as the case may be. If you want to make life interesting, just try to take control, but beware the consequences: something or someone’s going to give! Sign: Scorpio Favorite dessert:...

JULIA: If you want something done right, let Julia plan it: it might not work out just how you want it, but at least you’ll have a road map and a drill sergeant to lead the march. Armed with the stereotypical weapon of Latina moms, she wields her chancla (slipper or sandal) while doing her best to keep the willful members of her family in line as needed. However, she has her own thoughts and desires, and keeping herself on task is not always possible. Sign: Libra Favorite book: 50 Shades of Grey JULIA: Si quiere algo hecho...

SABUESO: Although far from the brightest bulb in the chandelier, his loyalty and protective nature are never in question, and in fact, reflect the nature of his nickname (sabueso means «hound» in Spanish). That being said, the medal for «Best Guard Dog» is not in the cards for him as long as he keeps those headphones pressed to his head. Music, like his bark, are his form of refuge, and if we dig deeper, we find his tender center that needs as much loving care as the rest of his chattier family. Sign: Aries Favorite band: Rata Blanca SABUESO:...
