Lorraine, Our Beloved Librarian, will be Beauty School chaperone for a class field trip to New York City next weekend. If you want to go, meet in Chinatown (10 miles off campus, not to far from the International House of Pancakes) next Saturday morning at 7:00am to take the express bus. Lorraine has arranged for a viewing of the movie "A Man Called Horse" during the bus trip to the Big Apple. One of the highlights of the field trip will be seeing the brand new musical "La Casa de los Espíritus” at the Repertorio Español.The musical, starring none other than Miss Universe 2001, Puerto Rico's Denise Quiñones, is based on the 1982 book by Chilean author Isabel Allende. The story follows the life of the Trueba family during decades of social and political disorder in an unnamed Latin American country not unlike Chile. Lorraine says she has secured backstage passes for all students who go on the field trip, and she even noted to Prof. Chandni in the staff lounge yesterday that Denise said Lorraine could do her nails before the show! Lorraine also told Prof. Chandni that Denise offered to let Lorraine do her hair, but that Lorraine might make Denise's full-time hairdresser from Los Angeles un poco celoso. So Lorraine settled on doing Denise's nails.
According to the New York Daily News, the play also serves as an inadvertent tribute to Hispanics in New York, since Repertorio’s version showcases the range of flavors and accents that color Spanish in the city. Though lead actors Nelson Landrieu and Beatriz Cordoba hail from Uruguay and Argentina, countries that are linguistically similar to Chile, other actors have different backgrounds. Puerto Rican-born Denise Quinones plays Alba Trueba, and narrates the whole play from a torture chamber, where she is held captive. “Denise has a very soft Caribbean lilt; she created neutral ground for us,” says the show's playwright Caridad Svich.
