Thank You to GALA Theatre

Over 100 teachers, parents, and friends of Teaching for Change had a wonderful evening at the preview of Federico García Lorca's play, El retablillo de Don Cristóbal/The Farce of Don Cristóbal and the Maiden Rosita. The play is directed by acclaimed Argentine director Adhemar Bianchi and puppeteer Ximena Bianchi. In this staging of the play, Republican soldiers and members of the Abraham Lincoln International Brigade who are fighting in the Spanish Civil War celebrate their cause for freedom with impassioned songs of the war and a creative performance of Lorca’s puppet play. In Spanish with English surtitles.

We extend our special thanks to the GALA Theatre for selecting Teaching for Change as the beneficiary for this preview night. (The play runs through May 2, 2010 at GALA Theatre 3333 14th Street NW Washington, DC 20010.)

Thanks to Rick Reinhard who took photos of the reception. Special thanks to Ad 2 DC for preparing professional posters for display about the work of Teaching for Change.
