Subject: RE: BS: english-speaking theatre in Argentina!?
Hello Laura - good to hear from you again ! I remember a few years back when you were going to be in your college production of "Les Mis", unless I'm getting you confused with someone else ??

Anyway - I'm very pleased to hear about your course. The "Contacts" directory (which you no doubt know) only lists English-speaking theatre companies in Europe and not the rest of the world - but I've found this one for you in Buenos Aires: "On the Road Theatre Company" They describe themselves as "A professional theatre company that performs in schools, teacher training colleges and theatres, mainly in Buenos Aires." The website has video clips of their current tour (including a musical of "Romeo & Juliet").

Have you tried putting a message up on "The Stage" discussion board ?
Also, I don't know whether Equity might be able to suggest somewhere where you might be able to enquire. Some of the other theare networking websites might also be worth a try. Does your college subscribe to any foreign theatre journals - that may also give you some links. Not much use to you, but for Germany there is, for instance, the journal "Theater Heute", and I should think there would be a similar publication for Argentina.

Anyway....all the very best and do let us know how you get on with your search.
