RETIREMENT TANGO at REAL DEL MAR
The Rosarito Theatre Guild does it again! "Another thoroughly enjoyable evening of dining and entertainment" was the consensus of all attendees.
After enjoying a gourmet meal in the Rincón San Roman Restaurant at Real del Mar, guests moved on to the shaded patio where a stage was set to present the Rosarito Premier of "Retirement Tango". Written by William Shuman, directed by Craig Schaefer with readings by Bill Shuman & Joann Mariano, these talented individuals bring to the production many years of combined theatrical experience.
The setting is the back porch of Max (a 74 year old actor) and Maxine (a 68 year old actress) Aronofsky's cottage in a retirement community in Florida. The premise of the play is Max's yearning to go back to the glory days of touring while realistic Maxine - not so much. The dialogue between the two was something the attending, and mostly geriatric audience, could easily relate to. The lines were funny and appropriate, yet the audience could also feel the pathos the author was trying to bring to the play.
While the first two performances are sold out, there are still tickets available for the Sunday afternoon matinee. The complete package is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in our beautiful laid back Baja. Don't miss it - you won't be sorry!
