In this week’s backstage update, we hear from actress Maria Sanchez, who is making her Milagro debut with “Raíz”, our Day of the Dead celebration …

Previews week, I must admit, a bit stressful (details details details!) yet, going amazingly good!  Audience reactions are very positive and encouraging!  We actors love the show, and I personally see and feel a lot of beauty in it.  It’s colorful, original, dramatic and primitive, funny — and it simply warms the heart reminding us about the true values in life, love, family, traditions, friendship…  Did I mention, we the cast have developed such a bond between each other it makes everything flow with joy and, yes, affection! It energizes the air! After a lot of hard work — full of heart — the play opens to the public tomorrow!  Art, theater, Raíz …  it’s all so good for the soul!  Friends, come and feel it, too. Enjoy!
