Personal Message
These two verses has been the strong meaning of making things happen out of nothing, When you are passion in what you believe in and especially when you really have a calling to do God's will, you just can't go wrong. All those who want to do right and has help me in where I am at today, these verses I give to you.
Matthew 10:40-42
40"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
This verse has been my passion in all that I do.
Proverbs 31:8
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor.
God Bless you all and know we need every support to help those less than us. Let us not forget the poor and the young. Is God commandment. |

LOS NUTCRACKERS: A CHRISTMAS CARAJO
 
December 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 at 8pm - Tickets $20 (discounts for students/seniors/BAADGE holders and Bronx Cultural Card) "HO! HO! HO!" becomes "HA! HA! HA!" this holiday season with LOS NUTCRACKERS: A CHRISTMAS CARAJO. This queer, Latino, holiday play returns for the 6th triumphant year to celebrate the holidays in a whole new way. Written by BAAD!'s own Charles Rice-González and directed by the award-winning Jorge Merced. The play features a talented and sexy cast of Latino actors including: Johnathan Cedano, Indio Melendez, Gabriel Morales, Cisco Perez, and Yosvany Reyes. Returning this year, in a special role is the legendary Bronx drag diva Appolonia Cruz. This play centers around a couple, Carlos and Gabriel, who have been together for almost 15 years. Their arguing and fighting has reached the queer heavens from which comes a ghetto thug/diva spirit who guides them on a trip through their lives. They travel to the first time they met back in 1986 at a white party at the Palladium dancing to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam to a catastrophic trip to City Center to see The Nutcracker, to a dinner party with Martha Stewart fanatics, and more. Show times are:
Thursday, December 3 at 8pm
