Well, it's finally here. The opening of this beautiful play ROPES, by Bárbara Colio, translated by Maria Alexandria Beech (Alex Beech) at Two River Theater. And it takes a village to make something like this finally transpire: Thank you for your brilliant leadership Two River Theater -- John Dias,Michael Hurst & Stephanie Coen, for initially workshopping it at Crossing Borders and then choosing it for your season...and your terrific staff who are so brilliant and talented and kind. And all of the amazing people who made this happen along the way including Andrea Thome, for your excellent leadership in the Mexico/US Exchange at the The Lark, (under John Clinton Eisner & Michael Robertson), Annie Henk for casting (this play as well as the Mexico/US Exchange), Lou Moreno who beautifully directed the first reading of the play at the Lark and all of the actors and people (then and since) who worked on the translation of this play (including you, dramaturg Maria Albert!) . And now it is on its feet in its first American incarnation (yes, we are going to manifest more!) with beautiful actors Luis Moreno, Varín Ayala &Gabriel Gutierrez, designed by Narelle Sissons (set) Mary Louise Geiger(lights), Theresa Squire (costumes), Daniel Kluger (composition), Stowe Nelson (sound), Jeena Yoon (props), Barbara Samuels (ALD), Gerardo Rodriguez (fight choreography), Ali Hassman (PSM), Dennis Chambers (AD), Travis Coxson (PA), Brittany V Corbett (PA), Ana Grosse for her beautiful voice, and our very own Tight Wire Instructor & Technical AdvisorJustin David Provoncha!
