Summer Theatre in El paso




I spent the morning looking at the different shows being perfomed in the sun city today and decided to post some of the information here. Stevo will be perfoming in his first play (he actually has lines) at the El Paso Playhouse this summer. The play is called The Clown Who Ran Away and it will be staged August 6-21. The directors have a talented cast to work with and the production will be great for kids and their parents.
I was scheduled to play the part of Pancho Villa in land of the Centaur but the show has been postponed till next season. The playhouse will be staging the mark Twain play The Diaries of Adam and Eve in place of Centaur. I get to play the part of Adam but am happy that I will not have to wear a fig leaf. You can catch the Diaries of Adam and Eve at the playhouse from July 9-24.


I am glad to see that the El Paso Community College Performers Studio is emerging onto the theatre scene in the city. Keith Townsend is a great artistic director and I am sure the productions will be well worth the price of admission.


Utep and The El Paso Playhouse will also be producing shows this summer. I hope El Pasoans will escape the heat and fill a seat at any or all of these fine productions. Here is a list of some of the productions being staged this summer.
