This proposal takes place "somewhere in Castilla-La Mancha, whose name I don't want to remember" In a very small village, one of many in this community, there was the school of Don Silvestre El Refranes, a very peculiar teacher with very odd pupils. At that time, on an ordinary day in the year nineteen fifty-something, an event was expected to disrupt the tranquillity of this rural school: the inspector's arrival.
The piece is presented under the direction of Eusebio Galván Cabello and takes place with the collaboration of the City Council of La Orotava. As far as the actors is concerned, La escuela de don Silvestre is featured by Juana Perdión Marrero, Miguelina Hernández Pacheco, Amparo Hernández Luis, Anisia Acosta Hernández, Candelaria Acosta Pacheco, María Dolores García García, María Luz Valladares Fariña, Narcisa Luis Pacheco, Petra Rodríguez Pacheco, José Antonio Delgado Luis, Francisco Pérez Afonso, Sigfredo Hernández Pacheco, Restituto Rodríguez Expósito and Sabina Pacheco Cabrera.
The programme Teatro Aficionado (Amateur Theatre) is part of the Educational and Social Area of the Auditorio de Tenerife. Teatro Aficionado encourages interest in theatre as a hobby and the production of theatrical plays by the local associations of Tenerife. It aims to stimulate matters such as communication, the exchange of ideas, and creativity amongst members who, in turn, belong to youth collectives, cultural collectives, women's collectives, and neighbourhood groups, among others.
Its main objectives are to promote a liking for theatre among different social and cultural groups, to promote the general public's attendance to, and love of, theatrical plays; likewise, to contribute to enriching the technical/artistic quality of amateur theatre groups and to create different work groups.
