The latter is a critical response of The University of Colorado Boulder Department of Theatre and Dance’s rendition of Carlo Goldoni’s mid-18th century comedy; Servant of Two Masters. Directed by Tamara Meneghini, and featured in the ever-personal Loft Theatre, this hilarious tale of love and mishappenings had me encaptured for entirety of its two and a half hour run time. Needless to say, I found this showing to be of great standing, and was successful on nearly every single level in making…

The idea of simple living was both widely promoted and discouraged from the arrival of the earliest Puritan colonists in 1630 to the extensive industrial growth of the middle 1800s. Many groups and societies aimed to resurrect the simple life and promote it among the masses.

Family Family is a huge deal in Mexico. In Mexico, family comes first. Children are celebrated and are more sheltered than in the US.
