Through Oct. 22 — Teatro de las Américas presents Romantic comedy ‘Stage Kiss’

by  •  • Comments Off on Through Oct. 22 — Teatro de las Américas presents Romantic comedy ‘Stage Kiss’

Theatrikos brings the romantic comedy Stage Kiss to the Flagstaff stage. A kiss is not just a kiss in this whirlwind knockabout farce. When two actors with a history are thrown together as leads in a 1930s romantic comedy, they quickly lose touch with reality.

“This play is so much fun for the cast, as they get to play both real-life actors and characters in a play-within-a-play. When the actors really enjoy doing a play, the audience enjoys it, too. You can expect to have a rollicking good time at the theatre,” said director Stan Sutherland.

Bilingual report — Statement from City of Oxnard on the Passing of Supervisor Carmen Ramirez

by  •  • Comments Off on Bilingual report — Statement from City of Oxnard on the Passing of Supervisor Carmen Ramirez

Community groups, organizations including Teatro de las Américas and Gold Coast Health Care Plan, pay tribute to long-time public servant and community leader.

OXNARD — With great sadness Oxnard Mayor John C. Zaragoza and the City Council join the community in mourning the loss of Supervisor Carmen Ramirez, who passed away Friday evening following injuries she sustained as a pedestrian involved in a vehicle collision. 

Supervisor Ramirez, who served on the Oxnard City Council for ten years prior to being elected Ventura County’s District 5 Supervisor in 2020, was a fierce advocate for Oxnard and worked steadfastly to represent the diverse voices in her beloved City. Prior to being elected to the Council in 2010, she worked as a longtime legal aid attorney serving low-income communities in Ventura County. 

Said Mayor Zaragoza, “I offer my sincere condolences to her husband, Roy Prince, and her family. We will miss Carmen tremendously. We worked together often, while I was serving as Supervisor and she was Oxnard’s Mayor Pro Tem, and this camaraderie continued when she was elected Supervisor and I served as Mayor. She was passionate about environmental justice and creating a better future for our City. Her kindness, love and deep compassion for the community was felt by everyone. She will be dearly missed.”

As you probably know Teatro has its own home at 321 W. 6th Street in downtown Oxnard. We continue to be very grateful to Pablo García and his construction company which did a great job of converting a building that had been empty for 10 years into a small and intimate Teatro space. We are happy to be here and are getting very active, especially as the COVID pandemic is coming under control. You will be receiving announcements about all the activities soon, if not already.

Teatro de las Américas — 5 days Italian FILM will be here!!

by  •  • Comments Off on Teatro de las Américas — 5 days Italian FILM will be here!!

Festival for the Italian audience and, at the same time, on Teatro de Las Americas and Main Stage West virtual seasons for the American audience.

The audience can book to participate to the TALK with the company and other guests curated by Enrico Piergiacomi, By writing an e-mail you will receive the invitation and all the instructions.

INVENTING LIFE is a doc-film about TELL TALE, a theatre-dance piece that engages on stage the authors and their two children. The documentary has been filmed in theaters, locations in wild nature and in abandoned spaces: a theater company working in the absence of live performing. A proof of necessity. A dialogue with nature and with a theatre crowded by absents.

Bilingual report — Teatro de las Américas — In Memory of Jim Valdez

by  •  • Comments Off on Bilingual report — Teatro de las Américas — In Memory of Jim Valdez

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that our great friend Jim Valdez died yesterday. Jimmy was with us for many years. His sense of humor always bubbling.
He was on stage, building stages, and always available for problem solving. He and Juanita were also generous donors and patrons. They were happy to support the costs of renovating the downtown teatro.
They moved to Phoenix last year. Juanita passed several months ago. Jim moved in with his sons and and spent his last months happily with them and their families. Jim’s son Dennis tells me it was a great joy for him to have his Dad with them.
We miss you Jimmy and we hope you are helping celestial teatros build sets.

March 28 — Teatro de las Américas to present ‘Inventing Life,’ doc/film

by  •  • Comments Off on March 28 — Teatro de las Américas to present ‘Inventing Life,’ doc/film

Inventing Life is a doc/film about Tell Tale, a theatre-dance piece that engages the authors and their two children. A piece of life on stage, that should have opened in California and Oregon in April 2020, remaining on the verge of our common uncertain future. An engaging, poetic work about the unfinished: a search to elevate the present to a mutual encounter between distant human beings.
The documentary has been filmed in theaters, locations in wild nature and in abandoned spaces: a theater company working in the absence of live performing. A proof of necessity. A dialogue with nature and with a theatre crowded by absents.

Bilingual report — Teatro de las Américas wishes you a Healthy and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

by  •  • Comments Off on Bilingual report — Teatro de las Américas wishes you a Healthy and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This past year, 2020, has been a mixed reality for your Teatro, an example of “Good News, Bad News.” 

THE GOOD NEWS:
Teatro now has a home of our own in Downtown Oxnard. We accomplished this long sought goal because of your generosity. The repairs and renovation of the building at 321 W. 6th Street cost in the neigborhood of $42,000. That money came from individual donors and business sponsors. We are overwhelmed by your generosity and at a loss to find the words to thank you adequately.

THE BAD NEWS:
Due to the Corona Virus we are unable to welcome you to our teatro. As a consequence, there were no live stage productions in 2020.

BUT:
We rose to the challenge by bringing Virtual Theater to you vía Zoom:
·       a series of conversations with Latinx actors and
·       acting classes for adults and children.

Merino Productions is a Multilingual Solutions Agency based in Ventura County with a national and international curriculum in video productions, voice-overs and document translations.  

Our experience with local government agencies, has shown a need to raise awareness on multiple subjects such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, drunk driving, drug addiction, personal growth and multicultural awareness. 

Merino Productions has decided to start a new community awareness program on all these matters and will be volunteering hours to create a series of on-going bilingual (English and Spanish) videos. We are looking for volunteer actors and actresses of all ages to help us create these video messages.
