New Arts Center...New Impresario??
With the soon-to-be opened performing arts center in Spanish Springs, should we be reading anything into the several performances of different groups produced this summer by Fernando Verella? Do we have a new impresario as well as a new performance facility?
For all the years we've been here Oscar Felieu has filled that role, performing himself just as Fernando has in a couple of shows. Oscar's productions were always OK, but honestly were getting a little tired. Many of the performers tended to be the same, often "repackaged" in different ways. The newer productions and performers brought here recently by Fernando Verella all seem to be getting rave reviews.
Is it just my imagination, or is Fernando a new Villages impresario in the making, bringing new shows, variety and performers to the new Sharon Morse Performing Art Center? (It's been rumored that will be the name of the expanded and improved Church on the Square.)
Things always seem to be improving here in The Villages. Why not the variety and quality of our entertainment? What do you think?
