Talk back session immediately following.

Teatro de la Rosas teen theater troupe, 1440 Experience, is proud to present the collaborative writing project: Raul y Julie. This bilingual play, based on Romeo and Juliet, takes a look into the contemporary Latino youth experience. Set in Fort Worth, Raul and Julie must face language, class and race issues in school and at home. Their purity aims to survive through these barriers, only to leave them with life changing consequence.

Our youth is speaking out. Our Latino youth are here to tell their story. From their minds, in their words, this original play will mark a monumental point in Northside history. Please come and support this phenomenal talent here in Panther City

Wow! The Latino thing sounds cool. Too bad I am not in FW to witness it. Best of luck, though. Thanks for the reference of FW as Panther City. I used to make a living playing music with a group called The Fort Worth Cats. On a different note, Mexico's drug law is going to make the Bushies cringe a little bit. Viva Mexico!
I may just be a thin-white guy, but did live south of the border with my wife for quite some time.(We actually married down there.) What's the sense in incarcerating people for no f...g reason at all? I'd better stop now before I get too fired up.
Adios por ahora and thanks for the response to my site. By the way, I don't even smoke pot. Sorry this post sounds like an editorial, but that's the way the waves roll sometimes. Have a good day.
I do not surf either, but do enjoy the waves just off our patio.
