El Verde Origins opens next Friday *!* Join us as the party moves to Santa

Get ready boys and girls for a thrilling episode of El Verde! Meet mild
mannered Arturo Sanchez, born as an alien from the not so far away world of
Mexico and raised in the good old U.S. of A. All Arturo ever wanted was to
live an ordinary life, but after a freak elote accident, Arturo became...El
Verde!!!

Join us as we go back, way back, to see how it all began. This November,
TeAda Productions will present EL VERDE ORIGINS. Watch as Arturo becomes the
superhero who fights for truth, justice, and the Mexican-American way! Then
watch him as he battles the evil La Quinceañera with her ultimate plot to
destroy the world.

A Peek into El Verde

Over last week, TeAda's General Manager Marie-Reine Velez had a chance to
attend a rehearsal and workshop with the El Verde team and we asked her a
few questions about what she saw:

What were they rehearsing?

*They were going over a party scene, and the whole cast was there. It was a
lot of fun to see the cast's chemistry and how well they played off each
other. I am always impressed when I see a group of people having fun, but
still getting the work done.*

*What about EL VERDE ORIGINS excites you as an upcoming production?*

*The villains. Those are some really juicy roles, and the actors playing the
villains look like they're having a great time with it. They really pop.*

*You recently went to a workshop led by EL VERDE's playwright and director.
Where was it?*

*The workshop was at the Boys & Girls Club in Santa Monica, just down the
street from the Miles Playhouse. They're currently in the middle of a 3-day
workshop there, creating superhero and villain characters that will result
in the kids writing their own comic books. I was there for their first day
yesterday and the kids could barely wait to get into the drawing. We played
a few theater games to warm up, and then talked about superheroes. There was
this one kid, Jamal, who could name more superheroes than I could even keep
track!*
