DALLAS NON-STOP

Girlie Capistrano is a provincial girl with big-city dreams. She's been obsessed with the American soap Dallas since she was a little girl. With her new job at the American Spirit Airlines call center in Manila, it seems like Southfork is just a hop & a skip away. How much is Girlie willing to sacrifice in order to achieve her American Dream?

GO! "... a playful tone with flashes of melodrama in this bittersweet but brutally honest story, and the characters are endearing... lots of laughs." - Pauline Adamek, LA Weekly

CRITIC'S CHOICE "... a glimpse into the vibrant Filipino culture as uplifting as it is timely... Alvarez has matured considerably as an artist, and Rivera takes full advantage of his opportunities, to humorous and poignant effect... In Alvarez's beautifully balanced microcosm, there are no villains and no victims just individuals waylaid by their own unrealistic yearning." F. Kathleen Foley, Los Angeles Times

"Alvarez is blessed with a dramaturgically vivid imagination... helmer Jon Lawrence Rivera offer a richly textured journey of discovery... provides ample evidence that Boni B. Alvarez is evolving into a significant voice in local theater." - Julio Martinez, Arts in LA
