Following a wonderfully successful night filled with talent and fun at the Teatro de la Comunidad last Saturday the 4th of December, it is our pleasure to formally announce to you all the amazing prizewinners! In this post, as well as the prize winners we are able to bring you a selection of the evening’s photos – which were taken by Talento A Domicilio and which we have all been patiently waiting for!! The Teatro de la Comunidad event was organised and sponsored by Casa de Campo Living to unite the Casa de Campo and La Romana community and to give talented and enthusiastic members of our community the opportunity to perform in the Altos de Chavón Amphitheatre. In organising the show, the different charities and schools involved were given the opportunity to sell tickets to raise some much needed funds for their own organisation  – and so not only did we all have a splendid night, we also raised money for our local charities! Whilst each winning ‘contestant’ was awarded a prize, please remember the focus of the show was never intended to be the prizes or even the winners – as always «it’s the taking part that counts!!» (That’s what my mum always used to say to me!)

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who took part – you were ALL fantastic!!

Before I announce the winners I would like to say a BIG thank you to our 5 judges; Ricardo Bello, Hilda Peguero, Mayra Concet, Martha Victoria and Maria Luisa Ortiz – who took on the impossible task of choosing the winners! Thank you very much – I was very relieved I didn’t have to choose the winner!
