arlings,
I hope you are like me, enjoying the cooler temperatures. Last week was a busy week that kept me going from one soiree to another and, of course, I enjoyed them.
Once again I wished I had a clone since I could not be everywhere that I wished I could have been. I did enjoy very much attending, on Thursday, the opening reception of “Hispanic Convergence in New Orleans” at the Mexican Consulate. I was so proud of my Hispanic heritage as I saw so much talent displayed at the reception. The group exhibition includes Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Argentinian and Cuban artists.
The Hon. Consul General of Mexico, Ramon Gonzalez Jameson, was presented with a plaque from the Cervantes Hispanic-American Arts Foundation in New Orleans for his indefatigable contribution to the cultural arts. The commemorative poster of the upcoming “Que Pasa Fest 2015.” https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152955888105870.1073742513.581200869&type=1&l=1ffa6ee4d1
On Friday and Saturday, the two soirees that I enjoyed attending were Le Petit Theatre's highly anticipated "The Curtain Call Ball" that benefits Le Petit Thèâtre at Tableau, https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152957070550870.1073742515.581200869&type=1&l=74a31a52f2
. . . and the YLC 29th Role Model Awards Gala at the Hyatt. Both of these events were spectacular and I hope you will enjoy the links. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152959633885870.1073742516.581200869&type=1&l=68987c8943
This week is going to be another social marathon for me since today, September 15, I have been invited by the Consulate of Mexico to attend the Celebration of the 205th Anniversary of the Independence of Mexico at Gallier Hall in New Orleans.VIVA MEXICO!

THE PRODUCERS
Rivertown Theaters Opens Its Most Ambitious Season Yet with
The Broadway Phenomenon, Tony Awards Record-breaking
Madcap of a Musical, "THE PRODUCERS"
New Orleans' favorite funniest man, Ricky Graham, will be directing a dynamic duo and two of the most respected actors in the city, Sean Paterson and Gary Rucker, starring in the title roles of the zany, irreverent musical and season opener, "The Producers," at Rivertown Theaters running September 11 - 27, 2015.
Based on the Academy Award-winning 1968 film of the same name, The Producers is the story of down-on-his-luck theatrical producer Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a mousy accountant. Together, they hatch the ultimate scam: Raise more money than you need for a sure-fire Broadway fiasco...and pocket the difference. With the help of showgirls, dancing grandmas, and a cast of hilarious stereotypes, their plan goes mistakenly "right". The Producers has become a Broadway phenomenon, turning the tradition of a Broadway musical on its head and earning more Tony Awards than any other show in the history of the Great White Way. With tunes and a book by superstar comedian Mel Brooks and co-book writer Thomas Meehan (Hairspray), this big-time musical is truly one of the funniest shows around. Because of the adult language, the show is recommended for ages 15 & up.
