Presentation is in Spanish

En la España profunda, una tiranía atemporal estalla. Bernarda Alba impone un luto riguroso a sus cinco hijas, desatando un infierno de pasión reprimida, rivalidad y rebeldía. Entre paredes blancas y encierro asfixiante, el deseo por un hombre liberará una fuerza imparable. Una obra maestra sobre la libertad, la opresión y el fuego que arde en secreto. La lucha es universal. La explosión, inevitable.

In rural Spain, a timeless tyranny erupts. Bernarda Alba forces her five daughters into harsh mourning, unleashing a hell of repressed passion, rivalry, and rebellion. Within white walls and suffocating confinement, desire for one man will trigger an unstoppable force. A masterpiece about freedom, oppression, and the fire that burns in secret. The struggle is universal. The explosion, inevitable.

His high-energy performance has been delighting crowds nationwide, leaving them nodding in recognition and doubled over in laughter.

In the 60’s and 70’s — we had rotary phones, leisure suits, GI Joe action figures, 8-tracks, and we even rode bikes without Helmets.  Yes, Baby Boomers survived the ’60s and ’70s without GPSs, voicemail, and texting!  From the trials and tribulations of modern technology to the aches and pains that arrive uninvited– to getting your AARP discount, Fogel mines comedy gold from everyday moments of middle age and beyond!
