The CALFNES program (Computer Assisted Language For Non English Speakers), which they created, and is now in the public school system, got the attention of the Mexican Federal Government, which in turn has led to recognition and connections with other federal officials and private businesses who provide educational programs to Mexicans living abroad.

We will focus especially on how the microcosm of theatre in antiquity fed and fed off of the larger political, philosophical and economic communities around it.
