Valley Theatre SpeCial Edition

The cast of "Lend Me A Tenor" after their performance.

With Araceli Casares as "Maria Merelli." A phenomenal actress, a natural beauty, and a great person.

With Elva Michal (On Stage & More Coordinator, interim), Ivan Orozco (Tito Merelli), and Keith Michal (listed as part of "Directors").

With some cast, crew, and friends.

"Lend Me A Tenor" official program.

Today we had the very special privilege of witnessing a theatre production in the city of Pharr, Texas that superseded all of my expectations. "Lend Me A Tenor" directed by Frank Montero and presented by the Pharr Community Theatre is a, to borrow a clichéd expression in the world of performance art, tour de force. The dialogues, the hilarity, the vibrancy and energy of the cast was astounding. I feel proud to be a part of the family of actors who have participated at this theatre entity and wish to congratulate whole heartedly the entire cast and crew of "Lend Me A Tenor." I know these gifted actors will be captivating audiences for many years to come. I encourage anyone who is following this blog to support the theatre and art movement of the Rio Grande Valley. For the price of less than a movie-going experience you, too, can appreciate a production that far exceeds the expectations and standards of even the most stringent theatre critic. Congratulations to the Pharr Community Theatre and all who participated in this play.
