With the generous support of the Nevada Arts Council and National Endowment of the Arts, I was able to translate Las Edades del Hombre by Rafael Guizado (Colombia, 1940) into English. Big thanks to the many actors in Las Vegas who helped me by reading the first drafts of the script and offering their feedback.

At the request of Caja Colombiana de Ahorros, Rafael wrote “Las Edades del Hombre”. It consists of four dialogues that represent different stages of life. It was broadcast in the hours designated for the institution’s social purposes in late 1940.
