THANKS to everyone who came to see Don’t Cry For Me
And thanks so much for all your comments. Here you have some of them:
Dear Paulino, I want to express my deep gratitude and admiration for your Naked Stages performance piece. I learned so much about you. I loved the different characters and you embodied each one with so much skill and commitment. Your mom was especially touching. Dr. Knowles was hilarious, yes! Anyways I just wanted to let you know how much your artistry was appreciated. You killed it! Much love and respect!

You were awesome tonight, I was very impressed…

The mixing of Spanish and English in your performance without translating every word is terrific and your representations of such a range of characters. I hope you heard me laughing. Thank you!

A wonderful piece, interesting and complete. You displayed a great range of emotions and the transitions between character was very clear. Great work!

Very poignant show! Thanks for making it.

Your story was very well put together – making me laugh and then wanting to cry. Very funny! I was constantly engages and loved hearing your story. Thank you!
~Lauren D.
Brilliant! Your timing and movement was delightful. The narrative was beautiful – had both tears of laughter/joy and heartache. I want to see more.
~Cian M.
Beautiful show! While there was a lot of humor, I also thought it was quite profound.
~Lisa B.
I can’t recall seeing a better first person narrative that was so moving. The use of language was superb.
~Loire J.
Thank you so much for your art. Our stories and struggles have so many similarities and strength, questions, gains and losses struck such a similar chord in me that I started bawling towards the end. It never happened to me before , not in a show anyway.

Paulino, me ha encantado. No esperaba algo tan impactante, genuino y verdadero. Eres un educador puro y se nota que querías usar tu obra no solamente para expresar tu historia, sino también educar a los que no saben cómo es inmigrar. Gracias por esta experiencia! Respeto mucho lo que has hecho aquí.

Me has sorprendido, y me ha encantado, a la vez que me has hecho llorar. Cabrón! :-)
