*The show was fantastic! We really had a great time. So thank you for continuing to provide such high-quality Spanish-language theater. It's much appreciated. A big hug, thank you again, and good luck in everything you do (AB)
*Congratulations, the performance was a huge success. We had a fun and thought-provoking time. Thank you so much for keeping Spanish-language theater alive in Houston (AF)
*Today we went to "Bajo Terapia." We laughed sooooo much! It was so good and the theater was packed. What a hit! (MM)
*Everything was great; the theater was very welcoming, and the view and sound were great. The play was very good and the humor was great. Thank you (MR)
*We want to congratulate you on the wonderful play you presented. We loved it from beginning to end! The plot was captivating, the performances were solid, and the ending… We'll definitely be back. It was a very pleasant experience, and we want to do it again. (AO)
*Whenever I have the opportunity, I do what I can to see them, really, it's a pleasure (JR)
*They were phenomenal, we loved it, excellent actors, congratulations, places for the next one. (MP)
*I loved it! Throughout the entire play, I truly enjoyed the performances. Each character was superbly portrayed and portrayed; there were lots of laughs (which makes it excellent!), and it was very raw and realistic, a faithful representation of real life and, therefore, super authentic… Congratulations to all the actors, director, and all the people and the effort behind a show like the one they put on (SG)
*We loved the adaptation of the play and the performances of each of the artists. The set design was perfect for the context of the play's theme. We truly love this group of actors; this is our second time visiting the theater to see a play. Very good work (LP)
*We attended a performance of Gente de Teatro in Houston for the first time, featuring these three short plays, and we were delighted. I think the professionalism of both the staging and the acting is worthy of mention. The three plays flowed dynamically, like a perfectly assembled ensemble. The stage design was ingenious and practical for the communication purposes of the three plays. I found the acting impeccable. I hope we can soon enjoy more plays of this quality and warmth (GWM)
*Excellent presentation and artistic interpretation! It was a very enjoyable experience (PN)
*Spectacular staging! All three plays are entertaining and fun. Grateful (DC)
*…They were all bursting out laughing! The jokes and the spicy, to-the-point comments were loved by the crowd (ER)
*I loved the plays. It was an entertaining evening, with a fantastic and very funny cast. The versatile set design was very ingenious. I hope to see you in the next production (IN)
*I loved all three plays. I'm Argentine, have lived in Houston for over 25 years, and I'd never had the opportunity to see a Spanish-language play. It was a wonderful experience, the actors were excellent, and the staging was excellent. I highly recommend it, and I hope to attend again in the future. Congratulations on your work! (EC)
*I left delighted and thoroughly entertained. Magnificent work! My only suggestion is… to open the theater earlier… and start on time. But other than that, you've converted me into a fan of your work. I eagerly await the next show. By the way, if you need volunteers, please let me know (FAP)
*It's the first time I've seen them, and I loved them. The way they performed, the way they were dressed, and I really liked that they often swear in the refrigerator play. Because in Argentina, walking through any public office generates that feeling. The whole story about the books was very sweet, and the girls' play at the birthday party was exquisite. I really related; we're three sisters, and the conversations are like that! Being very picky, maybe I'd improve the lighting in the first story… I'm waiting for the next play to be announced so we can see them again! (P.Ch.)
*Fantastic! As always! I've been following you for years! As usual, the show is fabulous in every way. Thank you for allowing us to see theater in our language (and our accent) (IS)
*I always go to Gente de Teatro's plays. They make me laugh, they make me think, and sometimes they even make me cry. Some feature mysteries with unexpected endings. A little bit of everything. Keep putting on plays, and I'll be there to spend a wonderful time with you. (AY)
*I thoroughly enjoyed all three plays. They're brilliant! I laughed a lot, which is very healthy. A big hug to each of the actors, directors, writers, EVERYONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (MIS)
*We found the venue very suitable and comfortable… Overall, we really liked the show, as did the selection of plays. “Cómo vale una reheladera” (How Much is a Refrigerator Worth) was a good opening number and set the overall tone for the show. “Mesa de rebajas” (Balance Table) seemed a little less interesting to us… And “Verona” was truly a highlight due to the intensity of the dialogue; to the point that we debated whether they were improvising or strictly reciting their lines. The staging was simple, but sufficient for what was necessary. The six actors performed well, or more than well considering I'm very critical of overacting or of those who recite lines that are hard to believe. This wasn't the case, which I consider very positive… I presume the direction also deserves a lot of credit… In short, we left very satisfied, commenting on the positive aspects. We had a lot of fun, and the time passed quickly. Many congratulations (CF)
*As always, we were impressed by the effort and work you put into all your performances. The 3-play system is interesting, although I prefer to focus on just one play, following the development of the characters until the end... Very ingenious stage design! And of course, a big round of applause for all the actors, not only for the way they transformed into their new characters for each play in such a short time, but also for memorizing such tremendous dialogue! I think this was a great challenge for everyone, and they did it successfully. As you know, whether you do one or three plays, we will always be there to support you! (BS)
*I want to thank you for such excellent performances in all three plays... each one different, funny, and well-acted... We were seated in the front row, the characters... were very good, the scenery was good, in my opinion, a little precarious. The audio was okay; it would be nice if the actors could speak a little louder or use microphones. Those are the only two criticisms, so to speak, negative. Otherwise, it was phenomenal. We had a lot of fun. And all the actors are top-notch. Thank you so much for your talent, your time, and for making us have a unique time. Definitely, there's nothing like Latin humor. You were terrific. Please repeat with new plays. (MCR)
*The show is well thought out to entertain the audience. The staging is very dynamic and impeccably managed. The scenery is just right, necessary, and very flexible. As always, the casting and performances are excellent. My congratulations to the cast, direction, and production team. A pleasure to watch! (QM)
*An interesting and surprising play. A lacerating critique of the French literary establishment. Just the right dose of dark humor to ease the drama's tension. It echoes the Macbeth couple, also driven by ambition...although, in this case, the final outcome for the anti-heroes is more of a metaphor for our era. Claudia and Anita were masterful with their portrayals of complex characters, including facial expressions and intonation shifts. Gloria was frightening, and Sasha was intriguing. Esteban, apart from having the physique du rôle, brought just the right temperament to the character. Brilliant performances! Congratulations also for the staging, the scenery, the props... and the musical curtain, which was a success... sensual and with a relentless crescendo, which fits well with the spiraling complexity of the play. Very professional all around. GdT, it gets better every time! (CG)
*Thanks so many Theater People. My wife and I attended the performance. We found that the set was excellent, the acting was very good, the venue, and overall experience were great! We look forward to attending your next performance in the fall. If possible, for the next performance it would be helpful to have subtitles or a summary in English. My wife is learning Spanish and this would have been really helpful. Kind regards. (J.M.)
*It's always nice to see them perform and enjoy the best Spanish-language theater in Houston. I was left wanting to laugh out loud like I had in the previous shows, but I guess that was just my expectation. I also think there were several humorous moments. See you next time. (FF)
*I always watch them and I love them. Regarding the play, I thought the staging was excellent, the acting magnificent. The play felt a bit tedious, and it only got better toward the end. (JR)
*Thank you! We're already looking forward to the next play you'll put on (EP)
*Thank you! I really enjoyed the play… Keep producing these kinds of shows that refresh the soul. Hugs! (MW)
*Congratulations for continuing to bring these plays to our community. My wife and I always enjoy them because they are so well chosen, and the talent of all of you actors is first-rate. Thank you. (NM)
*We really enjoyed it and had a great time. Best regards (AS)
** 100 ** They are excellent!!! And you can really see their passion and professionalism!!! I love them! This is my second play, and I will continue to attend all their shows! Actors, production, lighting, set design - Great work! (GD)
*Spectacular! A place we always want to return to. (YCA)
*I had the opportunity to see the play twice and was pleasantly surprised by how much more I enjoyed it the second time, despite having seen it before. I think it was because I was able to focus more on enjoying the actors who, after so many years on stage, feel very comfortable and mature in their roles. They display an incredible synergy between them and are able to convey a very pleasant humor, connecting with the audience with a carefully crafted complicity. The plot of the play may be familiar to many, but everything changes when the staging is carried out by wonderful actors who easily win the audience's sympathy and appreciation (JN)
*Ayyy... They owe me a jaw!!!! I'm crooked from laughing so much!!!!! The play is brilliant, brilliant, with each and every one of its actors!!!! They are beyond excellent...!!!! What a level!!! (PI)
*Thank you again for the generosity of Gente de Teatro for the special screening of Toc Toc. It was truly laughter therapy—laugh therapy. Many people approached us to tell us they hadn't laughed so much in a long time.
*They're all excellent! It was my first Gente de teatro play, and I loved it! It will be the first of many! See you in March! (GD)
*I brought a lot of people, and so did my husband… They thanked me a little while ago for how much fun they had; I heard them laughing out loud. My daughter and I laughed like crazy. And my Argentinian friends… they left with an overdose of joy (SMM)
*I am bilingual, it was excellent! I loved it! Frankly, I have nothing bad to say. It would be great to see more productions like this (ACP)
*Whenever I see them, I always leave feeling very pleased. They're professional and do a superb job, fun, and truly spectacular. Thank you so much for doing this work for us (ML).
*I was very impressed with the acting and the show in general. I was so impressed that I returned the next day for “Coyote On the Fence”. I'm anxiously awaiting further theatrics updates (JV)
*Congratulations! I really enjoy your plays. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to laugh, reflect, and share Spanish theater with family and friends.
*Knock Knock was magnificent, very funny. I had a blast, and it kept me on my toes the whole time. It was one of the best plays I've ever seen. Congratulations to all the actors for their great performances (EF)
*I just want to take a second to thank you for what you do. For bringing Spanish-language theater to the community… I admire your work and I'm so proud you exist, Gente de Teatro! Thank you for continuing to motivate young actors like me and for sharing your work with ours. A phenomenal show! I'm excitedly looking forward to the next one! (D.)
*We loved it, the performances were great, and we had a lot of fun with the story. I'm glad I got to see your work (RC).
*This was my first time going to MATCH and we really enjoyed it! I went with a couple of friends and it was a great experience! The actors were wonderful and the show was fabulous. See you soon! (B.D.)
*It has truly been a pleasure and a joy to have shared Toc Toc with you. I laughed until my stomach hurt and even cried. You made me happy! I saw you with my family and we all had an amazing time. And I hope to see you soon to enjoy the joy and happiness you bring us with your beautiful performance (P. family)
*…We really had a wonderful time and loved the performance. You're wonderful… The fact that you're an Ibero-American company and perform theater in Spanish is always of interest to us. Julia Olmo, Consul General, Consulate General of Spain in Houston
*Congratulations to the entire Gente de Teatro team! I loved the play and especially everyone's acting. Likewise, the set and lighting were wonderful. A staging in which every detail was carefully considered. They're definitely ready to go to Avenida Corrientes! Best regards, and we look forward to the next play in 2023! Secretary Alejandro Anibal Garcia, Deputy General, Consul General, Consulate of Argentina in Houston
*Thank you, GdT, for making us smile, for that transition to in-person presence and joy! It's an honor to always support Gente de Teatro. They're magnificent. If I can, I'll go to another performance. I wouldn't tire of seeing them (MFR)
*..I loved the play! Even though my Spanish is not perfect, the body language of each character helped me a lot. Fantastic set, very colorful and creative…You all delivered an outstanding performance. Congratulations! (SF)
*I even got OCD and in the meantime I went to check if I had closed the car door (SC)
*I'd already seen the movie on Netflix, and it was fun, but nothing like this play. It's fantastic! The actors, each in their own style, are brilliant. Thanks for the great times. (JR)
*It was hilariously funny! Everyone gave a great performance...My cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for your next production. Thank you, Theater People! (AY-M.)
*Hello Theater People. My wife and I missed you so much. This new play was fascinating. Thank you for letting us experience these wonderful moments. See you soon. (HA)
*My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed Toc Toc. The staging was excellent. Wonderful actors gave us completely convincing characters, and the laughs were plentiful. It was also very nice for my mother to be able to attend a play in Spanish. It's a completely underserved market in a city where hundreds of thousands live who only communicate in that language. (YG)
*Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the play and its staging, but having followed Gente de Teatro for all these years, I am deeply impressed by the growth everyone has experienced as actors and under Marcela Salas's direction. Everyone, without exception, has polished their performances and eliminated the minor flaws evident in previous works. The result has been a presentation on par with a good professional ensemble. Congratulations to the entire group (RA)
*Congratulations on another wonderful production. I thoroughly enjoyed the play, and the cast was amazing and so funny. Gente is such a gift to Houston theater audiences! I look forward to your next play. (IN)
*We really enjoyed the play. The acting was excellent. Thank you so much for cultivating art in our native language. (LS)
*Excellent, funny production with phenomenal acting. The theater is pleasant and parking is easy. (PL)
*Knock Knock…Terrific! I truly enjoyed this performance of Toc Toc. The actors pulled me into this story from the moment they walked onto the stage! A hilarious and well executed production. Bravo Theater People! (LMB)
*Excellent play, with great acting and dialogue that takes you on a roller coaster of laughter and tears. I really enjoyed the work of Gente de teatro (YR).
*Once again, they received applause!! Last night, I had the opportunity to enjoy the play, almost sitting on the stage, savoring every detail of each actor's performance. I laughed, reflected, soared, and almost cried. Congratulations, and much success today and always! (GG)
*I loved the play; it transported me back to so many moments of my adjustment to a new country. Refreshing and thoughtful at the same time. MATCH is a fabulous setting for this type of play. (CP)
*We really enjoyed Madenusa... Excellent actors and it was very entertaining (IS)
*We really liked the play, it was very entertaining and it touched our hearts as immigrants in this or any other country… (R. Family)
*I watched “Madenusa” for the second time. And it really made me cry. Thank you (MI)
*A very beautiful play, very close to our personal experiences. The acting was excellent. We felt very connected. Thank you (AH)
*I wouldn't want to let another day go by without sending you my congratulations and my admiration for the magnificent work of creating a play, with a degree of perfection rarely seen. As a linguist, I paid special attention to the dialogue, which, although seemingly ordinary, had profound meaning... We have just seen a magnificently written, beautifully imagined comedy. My most sincere admiration. Hector Urrutibeheity, Professor Emeritus, Rice University
*I had the opportunity to see the play last Sunday and wrote a review of it: deinospoesia.com. It was a pleasure to see the play. Thank you. Yoandy Cabrera, PhD, Hispanic Department, Texas A&M University
*…Soroka not only captures the emotional instability caused by uprooting but also shares the comical moments we experience upon arriving in this country… The impeccable performance of the four artists can be understood because each one has experienced part of this work firsthand in some way. The play makes you laugh a lot, but I also doubt you won't shed tears when you identify with the pain of leaving your home to adapt to a new life. Excellent work. Don't miss it, but bring a tissue and be prepared to laugh a lot. Patricia Gras, Multiple Emmy ® Award Winner LOVE SMART LIVING MEDIA (TM) Patricia Gras Productions LLC A Media, TV and video Production Company
*I thought the play was excellent. It masterfully captured the immigrant experience, from the challenges of learning a new language and culture, adapting to new foods and lifestyles, to nostalgia for one's homeland and the memories of a lifetime left behind. The cast was exceptional, and Claudia Soroka's performance was insightful, funny, and moving. Thank you for another great performance. Isabel Nart
*Both my husband and I thought the four of you performed brilliantly, and the acting was excellent. Aside from Ms. Soroka's script, all four of you were very good and made this production a complete success. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you. (MU)
*It's been a long time since I enjoyed a play so much! The actors and the play were truly excellent! I think everyone in the audience—which was mostly Latino—identified with some aspect of the play. Claudia captured the immigrant experience with intelligence and humor. Very good work. (A.)
*I went to Sunday's screening with my husband and was fascinated. The script was excellent, very funny and moving. But above all, it was very accurate. I identified with the feelings and comparisons immigrants make when they arrive. And with the very difficult process we have to go through to adapt, which you never understand until you've experienced it. I'm not Argentine, I'm Mexican. But I understood everything, and the story translates very well to our culture... Congratulations on your work, and never give up. (ZM)
*A magnificent, complete, moving work! It's always a pleasure to see you on stage. Congratulations once again, Gente de Teatro. Spectacular, 100% recommended. (V.)
*We loved the play, we were moved, we laughed, and we cried. Remembering our path and roots is as necessary as breathing…(F.)
*We went to see Madenusa on May 4th as a birthday present for my mom. We LOVED the play. As immigrants: I've been here in Houston for 11 years, and she has been here for a year and a half. We identified perfectly with the characters. She particularly with "El Negro" and his wife, and I with the other couple, for obvious reasons. We laughed but also held back some tears. The subtlety with which the play presented the theme was exceptional, and when you come back in November, we'll definitely see it again. Best regards, and we hope to continue supporting you. (M., L., C. & J.)
*I've been following them since 2002. And I'll continue to do so as long as God gives me sight! And I'm going to see the play again in October. I loved it! (VA)
*Thank you for your excellent professional work!! Congratulations to the author, director, and actors. I'll be back in October!! Bravo!! Bravo!! (CV)
*…I must confess that this was my first play in the United States. I have no words to express what I felt; the message seemed directed at me. They couldn't have better described the feelings of many. I arrived in this country when I was just 13 years old, and yet the feeling and nostalgia grow stronger. As the protagonist said, not all of us were born to be here. A thousand rounds of applause for you. (VS)
*Dear Claudia, we just left the theater, and I have to tell you I'm feeling a mixture of emotions. The play you wrote is a work of genius and clearly resonates with many of us. Congratulations...and thank you for putting so much of what we hold dear into words and into this beautiful play. (MI)
*Dear Claudia, Congratulations! I loved your work—MADENUSA! I hope you continue writing...expanding our theatrical experience in Houston. A big hug. (A.)
*Congratulations to the entire team that worked so brilliantly on the presentation of the play MadenUSA... What a pleasant and thoughtful time you offered us. A very special and well-deserved congratulations to Claudia for her entertaining yet profound script. It was a balanced presentation of some of the implications of what it means to emigrate from our Latin American countries to the United States. A play that was respectful of the country where we currently live and at the same time motivated us to reflect on the high family and emotional costs we pay as emigrants. Thank you for such excellent work. (GD)
*The staging of the play "Cancun" was excellent. Fantastic dynamism in the rich dialogue between just four characters kept us intrigued and entertained throughout the performance. I loved the development of each of the characters (bravo to all four actors!) and the culmination with a reflection on the perception of reality, causality, and free will. The company is definitely a gem for Houston's artistic scene! Thank you very much! (SZ)
*Our experience was great. It's our first time seeing one of your plays; we're relatively new to Houston. Next time, we'll go with friends and support Latino theater. Thank you for the work you do. We appreciate it and thoroughly enjoyed it (SL Family)
*It was hilarious. And with a couple of unexpected and hilarious twists. I always enjoy your work. Keep it up! I also think MATCH is a great place for this kind of show (A. YM)
*How beautiful and interesting the last play was! I loved the author's approach where, at the end of the day, you don't really know...what the truth really is. And it was superbly acted! ...What also fascinates me is GdT's selection of plays. They're always very charming but with such a substantial background that one leaves those productions full and happy... Rose Mary Salum - Literal Magazine, Latin American Voices / Voces Latinoamericanas, Founder & Director
*...I'm the honored and rewarded one when I finally get to enjoy a GREAT WORK like last Sunday's. What a marvel! I thoroughly enjoyed it; everyone was excellent as always. I'm already recruiting people to go see it this fall! (JN)
*I'm writing just to thank you for the dedication and professionalism with which you present each work. Without a doubt, it was, as always, a pleasure to see you on stage. May the success continue, and I'll see you next time. A great admirer of your work. (V)
*We loved the play last night… We were impressed by your dedication to Spanish and to maintaining culture through art. We'll be back! (AN)
*I saw the play tonight, and as always, this cast, or rather, this group of professional actors, never ceases to amaze me. The beginning of the play is a bit slow, but as soon as the unexpected twists and turns begin, everyone's lives become a kind of roller coaster. What we fear, what we want, what we wish we had, and what's real. The ending is the best part. You never know how it's all going to end, but in the meantime, enjoy! Once again, Kudos! … There's a profound message in this play, and I really like that (PG)
*It was a fabulous presentation and we are already thinking about the next one (ASR)
*The play was fantastic! It made me laugh, think, and was excellent! The acting was masterful! May the success continue! (CG)
*I love watching them. I've had the pleasure of seeing several plays and have become a fan. Excellent staging. Great acting, and they always make me smile! (VB)
*I want to congratulate the cast for their extraordinary performance. Everyone was wonderful. I loved the play. You have a radar for finding plays that allow you to highlight the talent of each of the actors, and that's something very special in the world of theater… (IN)
*Fabulous! (MO)
*It was magnificent, fun, intriguing, and above all, entertaining. As always, a pleasure to watch. Congratulations and continued success. I'm ready for the next one. (V.)
*I thought the play was fantastic, not only for its comedy but also for its unexpected message. For me, it's the best of all the ones they've presented so far! Congratulations, and I hope they put it on again because I would see it again! (BS)
*I love that this group presents plays I'm not familiar with and that they're always a little different. The performance was fantastic and I really enjoyed it. I never regret attending (CG)
*As always, they were awesome. A great performance by everyone. And a great cast selection… Thank you for giving us such a pleasant, yet existential, time. We talked about the play for hours… (RdV, MR)
*The play was very funny. I laughed a lot, and of course, the actors are excellent! I recommend you see it. See you at the next play! (PH)
*"Cancún" was a true experience. Both the play and the acting were fantastic. The choreography and lighting, as well as the music and setting, were excellent, and the performance was unsurpassed. Despite the seriousness of the problem, we laughed nonstop. If they perform it again, don't miss it. I plan to see it again... (ZL)
*“I thought the play was excellent, extremely engaging, and very well staged. The acting was impeccable, and the play was very accomplished. It's a privilege to have a theater company (and a Spanish-language one) of this caliber in Houston. The professionalism with which they work makes one feel very proud to be Latino.” Rose Mary Salum - Literal Magazine, Latin American Voices / Voces Latinoamericanas, Founder & Director
*“Congratulations on the play and the fantastic discussion after the performance! I'm a huge fan of your work and the way you do it. Houston is so lucky to have Gente de Teatro.” Skyler Gray - Alley Theatre, Literary Manager
*“…It was an incredible performance, we cried with laughter, very funny. As always, it will be a pleasure to recommend them. Congratulations and a huge hug to this great team.” VU
*“Awesome presentation. “Querido San Antonio” is a very entertaining play with an excellent theme song. Gente de Teatro is an absolutely fantastic theater group, very professional, with excellent actors, sets, and a very good selection of plays… I can’t wait to see the next premiere, and we hope to have Gente de Teatro with us for many more years! Thank you for your great work.” (MI)
*“It was one of the best pieces you guys have ever done! I laughed a lot…I especially enjoyed the discussion afterward.” (GR)
*“I've been a fan of yours since the beginning, and I enjoy every one of your pieces. Thank you for creating this group and giving us such a great time. A wonderful performance of the play "Querido San Antonio." Please continue with such beautiful art.” (PS)
*“The play was very engaging, with light humor and elegant delivery. I thought the way the set design was handled, with a projection between scenes, was excellent. The actresses and actor were brilliant. Congratulations!” (CZ)
*“....I really enjoy attending these plays because they are so entertaining… Thank you for bringing to light these writers of plays that deserve to be performed. Best regards and much more success.” RC
*The wonderful thing about "Under Therapy" is that tragedy and comedy intertwine in a very clever way, keeping the audience in suspense until the very last minute. The characters are very well-developed, and through humor, they address issues that any couple can relate to. Ultimately, "Under Therapy" is an excellent way to laugh, think, and reflect as a couple. (AM)
*Excellent play and fantastic cast. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I thank you for the tremendous work in preparation and for a first-class evening. I encourage you to continue producing plays like this.
*We really enjoyed the play. We thought the acting was great, and the theater's size was incredible. Being so close to the actors is a different experience and makes you feel more involved in the story. I definitely recommend it. The affordable ticket price also helped us be a large group. Congratulations and much success. (NA)
*Excellent acting and staging. They chose a great script, which captures all the emotions. Congratulations!
*Excellent performance!! Unexpected moments!!! I loved it, it has a great background!! Congratulations, I recommend it, and let me know when you present any other show here in Houston. Best of luck!!
*Under Therapy was great. Congratulations!!! A huge success! Keep up the good work (AL)
*As always, it's a great pleasure to support and congratulate you on your great efforts to create good Spanish-language theater in Houston. You chose another of those plays that make you laugh but also reflect on important and difficult topics (WS)
*Please keep bringing these plays that entertain us so much to the stage. Houston's Spanish-speaking audiences need them. (AG)
*We thought Bajo Terapia was brilliant!!! And we thoroughly enjoyed it. We send our congratulations to the entire team of artists and are thrilled that Casa Argentina is collaborating with this type of activity (MD and JD).
*Excellent presentation!!! The time flew by between laughter and surprises, not to mention the extraordinary performances of each of the actors!! I had a wonderful time!!! MR
*Hello... Excellent play! I haven't seen a performance like this in a long time! I couldn't stop laughing! I loved it and I hope it's done again! KR
*I attended the performance last Friday, May 5, 2016. On Saturday, I posted on Facebook. If you knew me personally, you'd know that: 1) I rarely use Facebook and 2) I barely have time to make suggestions. However, as I was saying, on Saturday, I posted a public comment on Facebook, recommending the play to family and friends. I've seen many plays in my life, but none as good as this one. Congratulations, and keep up the good work. (OM)
*It was fabulous! Great actors, a delicate subject presented in a very clever, funny, and entertaining way. Congratulations! (MA)
*I was impressed by so much message in a single play. I'm a Domestic Violence Counselor, and I realized they touched on such profound topics as relationship problems, child problems, obstacles that exist in our society due to a lack of information, and many other topics. Not only that, it was so entertaining! I had a blast with the characters' performances. All I have to say is congratulations and I would love for them to present the play again, as I think many people missed out on enjoying this great play. Congratulations, magnificent cast! (BA)
*I'm pleased to give you many compliments for the play you presented. It was incredible to see the dynamics and the well-acted performance. All the characters gave us the different lives they led, all of whom had nothing in common except the psychologist. Excellent acting, excellent theme, excellent play. Thank you for bringing this kind of theater to Houston. Bravo! (RK)
*Honestly, one of the best plays I've seen in a long time. I hope they continue to showcase the same caliber of talent in the future. Sincerely, (EP)
*Congratulations on another wonderful production. It was amazing. (IN)
*We loved the play!! Excellent actors, very well conveyed the theme, with humor and a profound message that leaves the audience reflecting on the life of a couple. In one way or another, everyone is touched by the different cases. Big congratulations!! (F. and O.)
*My boyfriend and I took my parents to see the play on Sunday, and they loved it. We don't have much Spanish-language theater here, and I was very happy to see that they enjoyed the show so much, even though language wasn't a barrier. Thank you! (I.)
*I was there on the opening day. The performance was sensational: the play was extraordinary, and the actors were divine. It's a clear example of how, with limited resources and a lot of work, you can achieve a more than outstanding result. Congratulations! I went with my husband, and we both left delighted. What a wonderful time we had! All our encouragement and support for Gente de Teatro to continue its wonderful work. Best regards, (MPSR)
*Excellent play. I took my mom for Mother's Day (May 8), and it was the best gift. She loved it, and we're waiting for other plays to come out so we can go see them. (VS)
*Definitely a very dynamic, entertaining, and socially conscious play. The touch of humor achieved with such real, everyday themes made the two-hour performance very enjoyable. I enjoyed the play in the company of friends, and upon leaving the theater, I highly recommended it. I can only thank and congratulate you for your time and dedication to your work. Best of luck, and we hope to see you soon. Best regards, (V.)
*Excellent!!! I went with my husband, who's a psychiatrist, and he also thought it was very well-directed and the relationship problems were perfectly captured. Congratulations, and I hope we can see many more plays like this. (LF)
*Hello! We're delighted to have attended! "Low Therapy" is one of the best plays you've ever presented, truly entertaining, and the performances are superb. (NN and PN)
*Theater People, THANK YOU for a lovely Mother's Day gift this past Sunday! The play "Under Therapy" was spectacular! I enjoyed it immensely, I laughed, I worried, I got angry, I felt rejuvenated! I've followed you for 20 years, and I can confidently tell you that this has been one of the best productions you've ever done. I congratulate you and ask you to keep going, because what you do, besides being art, is social work of enormous value, exposing the human being as it really is and at the same time uniting us under Latin American culture. A big hug to everyone, and I'll see you at the next play, I'll be there! (FMM)
*CONGRATULATIONS!! The play was excellent! As always, you were impeccable, from the set design, costumes, music, direction, brilliant teamwork, and your acting was superb! We went to dinner...and we continued to find significant details about Nicole's perverse and cruel plot (I don't want to take a cooking class) and Elisa's innocence and tenderness. (AF)
*"I really liked it. It made me think." Wow! It makes you think and wish we could evolve to be better!" (MC)
*Hello, my dear Theater People!! Thank you for what you do! Thank you for making good theater! The play's plot is splendid, but the honors go to Ana and Claudia, who truly made us know and feel it through their excellent performances. Many congratulations, and once again, thank you for your time and dedication to this wonderful art form. (PC)

*Very good actors and the pyre was funny - but we didn't understand the piece - it wasn't very comprehensive - a little information about the times in Argentina would have helped. Kind regards, (BT L).

*After three failed attempts to attend plays you presented in the past, my schedule was arranged this time, and last Sunday I thoroughly enjoyed "Chúmbale." I write plays and always enjoy watching or reading plays. The greatest thrill was when I headed to my car with my wife in the parking lot and saw Esteban Gago pull a banner from one of the back walls of the theater. He was an actor with a very good performance and later a prop man. We were able to see the true spirit of independent theater. I congratulate you on your performance and dedication, and from now on, my personal calendar will be more closely tied to your presentation next September. Bravo!! Congratulations!! (JMC)
