Teacher, retired teacher tape show

RCS English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher John Parker Jr. and retired RCS Teacher Josephine Prozik joined forces to tape a show about a new book that recounts the Cuban revolution.

The book, by Professor Yolanda Ortal, is titled  "The Sleepwalker's Ballad" and is described as a "vivid portrayal of a period of time, that has impacted the lives of millions and the history of Cuba."

The book takes place in Cuba during the last two years of the Batista dictatorship and the first three years of Fidel Castro's. 

Parker played the part of Pres. John F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro in the Spanish version and Che Guevara in the English version of the dramatic production of the book that was taped  recently at the College of St. Rose.  Prozik, who retired from RCS last year, was stage manager for the production and interviewed Ortal for the TV production about the play.

The production will be shown across the U.S. while Ortal does a national publicity tour for the tome.
