July 21st, 2011, 1:29 pm by Amy Nichol Smith
Pharr native Mando Alvarado‘s new off-Broadway musical debuted this week at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City.
The play puts a Latin spin on the classic story and music of “The Wizard of Oz.”
In “The Yellow Brick Road,” Dora is getting ready to celebrate her 15th birthday, complete with a traditional quinceañera, but she doesn’t understand why it’s important for her to participate in the traditional celebration.
Alvarado has written several plays and screenplays, including “Basilica” and “Cruzando.” He is also an actor, who has appeared in many movies and television series.
Check out some photos from a recent “Yellow Brick” performance here.
ART EXHIBIT: ‘Sleight of Hand’ by Paul Valadez [Through Sept. 2]

"Untitled (Card Trick)" by Paul Valadez Acrylic Photo: Nancy Moyer
Recent works by Paul Valadez show a controlled flair for light-hearted imagery. “Sleight of Hand” is a trip down memory lane for this artist. It will be on display at the South Texas College Library Art Gallery downstairs throughout summer.
As one of our most prolific local artists, Valadez brings a new subject to us – magic tricks. Each painting is direct in its imagery and reminisces a magic trick in a mid-20th century illustration style. Although the artist often expresses his early personal experiences in the central Valley of California, this exhibit contains childhood memories for anyone growing up in America at that time. Each painting depicts an illustration of a magic trick that might have embellished its packaging, or been used as an advertisement for a toy set of magic tricks. “Untitled (Card Trick)” shows a stereotypical magician, complete with goatee and moustache, divining the right card. “Untitled (Gone)” shows two hands, open and empty. A puff of smoke above them announces “Gone!”
What: “Sleight of Hand, “ New works by Paul Valadez
Where: STC Library Art Gallery, Bldg. F, 3201 W. Pecan Blvd.
When: Through Sept.2: weekdays 9am-10pm
