Puerto Vallarta - The American School of Puerto Vallarta [Colegio Americano] is a place where bright, energetic and motivated students and teachers work together to discover the joys of learning.
This bilingual school offers a variety of student programs and projects to help students become more thoughtful, open-minded, self-reliant, responsible, and creative people. This month, school librarian Renee Perez is hard at work with her cast of very talented students - rehearsing for their next theater production, My Fair Lady.
The story of "My Fair Lady" centers around the blossoming relationship between Professor Henry Higgins and his student, Eliza Doolittle. The first encounter between Professor Higgins, the brilliant, but crotchety, middle-aged bachelor who is England’s leading phoneticist, and Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney girl who sells flowers, takes place one evening near the Royal Opera House.
Eliza is selling violets, and Higgins is out listening for new varieties of London speech. He is intrigued by Eliza’s Cockney accent. Shortly thereafter, Eliza comes to Higgins’ flat to be instructed in the English language.
During the visit, Higgins’ houseguest, Colonel Pickering, challenges Higgins’ to transform the guttersnipe into a lady. Higgins looks upon Eliza not as a young woman, but simply as raw material for his experiment…and naturally things begin to go awry!
Alan Jay Lerner, who was responsible for the screenplay, co-wrote the music and lyrics with Frederick (Fritz) Lowe, creating a score that is brimming with great songs, including "I Could Have Danced All Night", "The Rain in Spain", "Wouldn’t it be Loverly" and "I’m Getting Married in the Morning."
This will be one of the best musical theater productions to be seen in Puerto Vallarta this season. Performances are scheduled for March 29th, 30th, 31st and the 1st of April at 7:30 pm in the Colegio Americano Theater at Albatros S/N in Marina Vallarta.
Tickets cost just $100 pesos per person, so don’t miss seeing this wonderful musical theater production by a talented bunch of students. For more information, call 221-1525. |
