Living in Two Worlds: A Progreso Latino Fund Forum
Nearly 200 guests assembled at the New Haven Lawn Club in October to watch Elizardi Castro perform a fabulously entertaining take on the richness of our shared Latino culture. The crowd was stirred early on by an invitation to spontaneously sing a well-known Puerto Rican lullaby. Elizardi's performance lifted both voices and hearts as stories of families were reflected on stage with love and humor.
