Talento Bilingüe de Houston (TBH Center), presents  Rosa de dos aromas (Rose with two aromas), a  play by Emilio Carballido in Spanish. Directed by Lidia Porto. Running June 9 - 11, at 8:00 pm.

In this tragi-comedy are two women Gabriela (Adelina Venegas) and Marlene (Epig Dominguez) who are each at a jail to get their husbands, when they realize that they are there for the same man (Marco Antonio Lessur). They, in turn, begin a struggle. The battle ensues personally between them at first, and then is directed to who will be the one to get the husband out of jail. In the end they are left with the dilemma, whom shall he choose when set free? They are of different classes, temperaments and they cannot understand the attraction he holds for the other!
