The home of the best tortillas in Yakima.
Since the last posting, which was far too long ago, the following items have happened-
DXM has celebrated one year in Yakima! It has been a year of happiness, expansion, development and meeting a whole lot of new people. Thank you Yakima for the year together.
We have finished the info collection for the Seattle October show entitled The UnRegistered; A 2008 Election Cabaret. Many interviews about American voting habits and voting futures in Seattle. The playwrights Andrea Allen and David Schmader are writing away on it as I write this.
The planning for the 2008 Pastorela is well under weigh. Director Ashley Sparks is in Yakima for a set of meetings as we head towards making it all bigger and better and easier to hear this year.
We are doing yet another round of community partner events in preparation for La Pastorela. Weekend retreat with young Hispanic adults, a two week drama workshop with women and their children at La Casa Hogar as well as further interviews on the immigrant experience of the white population of Yakima as well. All going to make the Pastorela 2008 that much richer.
Finally, we are now beginning with playwright Bruce Hurlbut to do research on Tieton Washington, location of our 2009 project. Great partners and a very interesting town. We will see what turns up.
