Hi, everyone. Ready for the 2007 Sinag-tala Season? Better be. We’re launching Sinag-tala 2007: A Theatrical Revue with our annual Kick-off and Orientation on Sunday, August 19 at Meb Bajar’s residence at 5521 Jade Creek Way, Elk Grove 95758. Lunch starts at 1:30PM. Bring the family and don’t be late.

If you have a lawn chair handy, bring it. There, on Meb’s sprawling redwood deck (and adjacent areas), we’ll have lots of fun welcoming – or welcoming back – the newest Sinag-tala Family members, returning company members and their families, artistic and business staff, supporters, etc. We’ll introduce some of our finest “products” and “success stories.” We’ll answer all the questions folks have been dying to ask about Sinag-tala, chat about some of our plans for this year and policies, and have some fun group activities. Expect a surprise or two and a lot of hugging. And get set to eat (have a light breakfast).

On the subject of food: in keeping with our shamelessly low-budget tradition, we’re going strictly potluck (but voluntary). Sandi Corpuz is coordinating the food assignments and will contact everyone very soon about suggestions for what you can bring. So please watch your incoming e-mail.

We will also need volunteers to help with setting and cleaning up. Meb would appreciate some help with some minor moving and clearing in her garage to make sure there’s room for everyone. Len Nisay is coordinating the logistics for the day, so please contact him at lnisay@aol.com if you can lend a hand. Anyone with a pick-up truck who can help haul a few chairs and tables from the Studio? Let Len know.

Meanwhile, it would be nice if you could confirm that you’ll be attending, by Monday, Aug. 13. See you soon! Can’t wait!

Sonny Alforque
Producer/Artistic Director

Message from Sandi:
Hello everyone! Are we excited for another year with Sinag Tala Theatrical Revue? I know I am. I would like to start by welcoming all our newcomers and returning cast members.

Hello everybody! For those who haven’t visited lately, our Studio walls have been transformed from a bland white to a pleasant … Well, you check it our yourself. If not to merely appreciate Dick Mazon’s and Alex Castellano’s skills with a paint roller, you might find some good reasons among the following entries to drop by over the next week or so: Read more…
