Notes:

• Raquel jumped into the performance having not been able to rehearse and still absolutely crushed tech and final performance like the badass she is
• Everyone felt great about the final performance

Sunday, April 26

Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater

New York, NY

Notes:

• A group of Tess's friends absolutely loved "Angustias" and Orlando was able to make some new connections with them
• Great audience feedback all around for both shows and a good sign we will be able to produce these shows in rep in the future should we be able to raise the money.
