The Diaries of Adam and Eve at the El Paso Playhouse

My show, The Diaries of Adam and Eve, will end its run this weekend. The show has been a challenging experience because we have had to get it going with very little rehearsal time. I have enjoyed working with my partner Yol Itzma Aguirre and our director Lynne Dumond. Both ladies are great talents and I have been truly blessed to work with them. The show was written by Mark Twain and the version we have put on stage has been adapted by Kate Keyser. The show will take place Friday and Saturday at 8pm. Ticket prices are $5 dollars for students and $7 dollars for adults.

47th Season at the El Paso Playhouse

The El Paso Playhouse recently released its lineup for the 2010/2011 season. The usual Agatha Christie play is on the schedule along with a few classics and some new works.

It's a shame that more El Pasoans don't attend shows at the playhouse on a regular basis. I would not be surprised if the attendance numbers this year were well below average. (Hope I am wrong). Why is this? Are the ticket prices just a little too high? Are the shows scheduled not appealing enough?

Entertainment dollars are hard to come by all over but there has to be a way to increase attendance and support the hard working actors, technicians, and directors in our city. I am guilty of not attending shows on a regular basis this year, so I need to step up to the plate and do my part in supporting theatre in El Paso.

Here's hoping more people catch the theatre bug and head out to catch a great show at the El Paso Playhouse.
