República Dominicana, Hato Mayor 04/13/2011

The Ministry of Culture (MINC), through its Provincial Offices and the “Sowing Theater Program,” put on its first plays with the participation of more than fifty young people from different sectors of the province.

The activity, coordinated by Wendy Jáquez, Provincial Director of Culture, was held in Municipal Town Council halls in the presence of hundreds of people.

The first play, “El Toro Bravo” (The Angry Bull) was based on Hato’s regional culture and cattle rustlers of the Eastern Region of the country. They also performed “La Mujer Amada,” (The Beloved Woman) which is a story of forbidden love. 

These first presentations are part of the “Sowing Theater Program,” which seeks to train children and young people around the country to form their own theater companies and to be actors in these local theater groups.

The audience also enjoyed a show that promoted community and family values which will ultimately enrich the cultural life of the area where the main protagonists are families and young people.
