 Description: Through this workshop on Banknotes and Coins in Mexico, we will seek to know in detail and in a practical way the range of currency circulating in the country. We will inform about the denominations, designs and the changes that periodically occur in them. We will focus especially on the design and security features of each bill, in order to learn to become familiar with them, and thus make it easier to recognize whether a bill is valid or counterfeit.

Course Fee:       $100 pesos

Course Dates:   Aug 16, 2021

Course Time:    Monday, 12:00 to 1:00 pm

Lakeside Little Theatre: Season 57 MainStage - Auditions

THE MADRES, by Stephanie Alison Walker, directed by Dave McIntosh

Auditions: Thursday & Friday, September 2nd & 3rd, 2021, 10:00 am (Registration 9:30) at LLT

Show Dates: November 5 - 14, 2021

At its core, The Madres is about the strength and resilience of women. We get a glimpse inside one Argentinian home touched by the brutality of the regime in the late 70’s. Powerful, heartbreaking, tragically real.

The show needs 2 men and 3 women.
