(I thought you might like to read a review of the play. This was published in Boquete-Guide.com, a popular blog about life in Boquete. It is an exert of a larger article. )
From the El Pomodoro, Mayara and I migrated to the ROCK, a new restaurant, not for dinner, but for Syliva, the latest production of the Chiriqui Players. I was concerned since Mayara does not speak a word of English. I had told her a friend, Pam Pankratz was going to play a dog and she did not want to miss the event. Pam, you were great right down to biting your leg to deal with those nasty fleas; bravo. Pam your body language jumped the barrier of spoken words.
Since Jim Hatch (Director) arrived in Boquete the quality of theater has jumped from High School to near professional. What was astounding to me were the individual performances. Narin Kennedy in her first effort on stage was amazing. Narin if I did not know you better, I would think you were type cast, but I know you are not a dog hating school teacher type. You demonstrated great skill in a great role. The same for Tom Werder who was also in his first role. As a person who has never dared to be on stage I salute all of you, the copious support staff that made this possible and direction behind it all.

Congratulations! You survived it...and you liked it...and you are considering future roles! Way to step out of the box!
It is so good to know you are reading my blog again. After all, you are one of the big reasons I write it!
And thanks for the congrats.
Yep. just like when You were testing for Black Belt and he gave You the board the Red Belts couldn't break. I still remember the pieces flying...
Great Job, Tom.
Love, Darshan
Future roles? Can't wait to read the blogs. Well done, man. Did the bitching make it better? :)
Thanks, Darshan! The "boards" did fly.
Dan, I'm not sure what the bitching does...other than show up whether I want it or not.
I do know that I misbehaved a few times in public with witnesses. Now that's embarrassing.
Congrats, and thanks Tom, you had a major life experience and we all got to enjoy your blogging about the major experience. It actually felt like I was a part of it, that's the quality of your writing. I look forward to more play-by-play blogs (I can hear the groan). PS: A little misbehaving in public is good for the soul, keeps you humble. Take it from an authority.
