Baja Shakespeare is proud to announce their 10th Annual Theatrical
Production: "The Knight of the Mighty Rod". The four shows will be:
Opening Night Thursday March 18th, Friday the 19th, Saturday the 20th
and Closing Night Sunday March 21st, 2010 at our magical outdoor
theatre at historic Rancho Buena Vista. Tickets are now on sale at
our sole outlet, Smokey's Cantina in Los Barriles. Dinner and show:
$32 or 420 pesos. Show only: $20 or 260 pesos. Correct change is
always appreciated. WILL CALL is also available by emailing:
bajarhino@yahoo.com  or calling 142-8008.

This year's production is an adaptation of "The Knight of the Burning
Pestle", skillfully rewritten by our Artistic Directors. A raucous
comedy with a Baja twist, it is about a very serious Opera Chorus
putting on a performance when they encounter Los Barriles fishermen.
Baja Shakespeare is renown for its slapstick comedy, rock n'roll
music, fantastical costumes with a strong community spirit of over 30
local actors and another 20 behind-the-scenes hard workers. This
production is another reason why the East Cape is such a great place
to live! See you under the stars!

Thelma and Louise were dumped just outside of Los Barriles recently.
A kind passerby picked them up and took them home. They placed a call
to ALMA and ALMA volunteers opened their hearts and home to them.
Thelma is around a year old, healthy, smart and loving. She gets
along well with other dogs and loves to play. Louise, her sister, has
already been placed in a new home. Poor Thelma is lonely and missing
her. If you have another dog who needs a great companion Thelma is
one for you. She had been spayed and has all her shots. Photo's of
Thelma are on our website www.almacares.com just click on the adoption
tab.
For more info on Thelma please call Sheila P. at 141-0267 or email at

Guide? Several of us here in El Sargento would like to be in touch

hot conditions with salt in the water.
