Conway, Mission, Texas 78572 (956) 580-7800 • www.wintertexantimes.com PCT offers beginner acting classes The Pharr Community Theater is pleased to offer beginner acting classes for kids, teens, and adults. The adult class will be held on Saturday, November 21, from 2:30 to 5 p.m. Dress comfortably. All class materials will be provided. Participants may bring a pencil and notebook if they wish. The classes will be taught by Pedro Garcia, who brings nearly 40 years of combined experience in community theater as an actor, writer, director, and producer. Garcia has also been an active member of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) since 1994, when he landed his first small film role in Mad Love, starring Drew Barrymore and Chris O’Donnell. Since then, he has appeared in speaking and featured roles in numerous television and film productions, including Breaking Bad, Queen of the South, Tejano, Halt and Catch Fire, and Fast Five, just to mention a few. “I’ve enjoyed playing so many different roles in theater, as well as dozens of others in professional television, film, and independent productions. Some of these roles have challenged me to dig deep into the characters and storylines, allowing me to better understand and interpret each part with objectivity and believability. “Over the past 27 years here in the Rio Grande Valley, I’ve also had the pleasure of teaching and sharing my experience with aspiring performers of all ages. It’s something I truly enjoy.” Please visit www.pharrcommunitytheater.com for more information and to register. Online registration is $25, or $35 at the door if spaces are still available. Each class is limited to the first 20 registered participants, so early registration is encouraged. More experienced performers are also welcome. Classes will be conducted predominantly in English, with Spanish spoken whenever needed to assist participants. Join PCT, discover your creativity, build confidence, and experience the excitement of acting. It’s senior slow pitch softball time once again in the RGV. The Rio Grande Valley Senior Texan Softball League is back for its 32nd year. The league is open to all local Texans as well as Winter Texan individual senior men and women aged 55 years and older. The youngest player last year was 57, and the most experienced player was 85. Last year over 110 seniors played in the league and this year they hope to top that. Maybe you can’t run as fast as you could 20 or 30 years ago. Maybe you can’t throw and catch like you once did, but it really doesn’t matter. A few of the past new players never even played softball before, but it didn’t matter. There are two different divisions for the senior Pedro Garcia.
