The Folkloric Ballet Axixic performs at 3:30 p.m., followed by the auction, 4 p.m.

This one-act play will be presented at The BRAVO! Theatre starring Roseann and Anthony Wilshere, directed by Bernadette Jones, starting Friday November 5. Shows are November 5, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 3 p.m., with one evening performance Saturday, November 6, at 7 p.m. Tickets, 350 pesos, are available at It’s Kinda Bazar...and Mia’s Boutique or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
