The Colon Theatre

Have you ever gone to the best theatre of the Candelaria? Do you know about all the history that the Colon theatre has? One weekend I went to the Colon theatre in order to take pictures, but it was closed because it is so ancient so the goverment is remodelating it. In order to tell a great experience that I had in the Colon theatre, I will talk about my experience of the Show in wich I participated. It was the celebration of the 50 years of the Abraham Lincoln School, so they made an special show in wich some students made a presentation at the Colon theatre.

I was in primary, and I was part of the group of dancing of the teacher Julian. We started to make the rehearsals at school. I was going to dance rock 'n' roll, tango, and pom pom shoes. We were not to excited because we had already participated in many shows and won a lot of prices because we were so good dancing tango and Elvis' rock 'n' roll. We continue making the rehearsals and one day teachers took us to make a general rehearsal at the Colon theatre. When we arrived in there we were shocked. It was the most beautiful thatre in wich we had danced ever. One person in charge of showing us the theatre gave us a tour, showing us all the theatre, the stage, the special boxes for rich people to see the shows, and finally our locker room. We were fascinated with it. We were seven men in a huge locker room with lots of showers and beds. Now, we were so excited because we felt like professional actors. The day of the presentation we were so nervous, we pass all the day making rehearsals at the theatre till the night, when the presentation began. It was a very nice experience, all the people was proud of us, and we did a great job showing all our dancing skills at that beautiful and historic theatre.

As a conclusion, I recommend you to visit that theatre, you will learn a lot about Colombia's history and you will feel proud of your country, for having such a beautiful cultural place. For me, it is the most beautiful theatre of Bogotà, it is full of frescoes and paintings, a beautiful architecture and great plays presented in there when it is available.
