We are pleased to announce our Peña: Alameda's Annual Fundraiser! Come and enjoy an authentic Latin American experience! Hosted by the award winning Martha Chavez! Featuring Latin American artists and musicians including a very special guest, Latin Jazz sensation Amanda Martinez!
Each year we celebrate the country of origin of the playwright whose play will be produced by Alameda Theatre Company in the coming season. This year we celebrate Mexico to honour our first playwright-in-residence Amaranta Leyva, whose play The Intruder will be showcased at the 2010 De Colores Festival of New Works in September 2010 and which will have a world premiere with us in 2012!.
Funds raised through the event will go directly to the development of excellent new work by Latin American-Canadian playwrights through our De Colores Festival of New Works, to inaugurate our youth program- Nueva Voz: A Latin American Youth Theatre Initiative and to enable Alameda Theatre Company to continue producing landmark and groundbreaking plays by Canadian Latin Americans. This year we will also be sending a portion of the proceeds raised at the peña to Habitat for Humanity: Chile to help victims of Chile's recent earthquake.
Join us! You won't want to miss this peña! (Have you ever hit a piñata! Who knows what goodies it will hold!)
