Pasa Nuevo @ GALA Theatre


FYI. One night only, this Friday (Aug. 3). What sounds like a pretty free adaptation, half in English, half in Spanish.  Performed by participants in Gala Hispanic's youth program, Paso Nuevo.

"This adaptation of  Blood Wedding includes gang prevention
and safety tips, as they are part of what affects youth today,
thanks to an interactive and productive workshop led by the
Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department."

If you've ever wondered about the psychology of the decision to keep reading a book you don't enjoy, I commend the following short article to you: "Why It's So Hard to Stop Reading Books You Don't Even Like."
