Lake Worth Beach, FL – On Sunday, October 9 th at 4:00 pm St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in
downtown Lake Worth Beach will present Saint and Sinner, a music theatre piece celebrating
Hispanic Heritage Month. The performance highlights the lives of two courageous Latinos:
Archbishop Oscar Romero who spoke out about injustice and violence against the poor and
defenseless of El Salvador during the 1980’s civil war and Joaquin Murrieta, the 19 th century
bandit known as “the Mexican-American Robin Hood”. It is believed that the Zorro legend was
based on this historical figure.


Saint and Sinner is a Core Ensemble production with actor Victor Vazquez, Cellist Ju Young Lee,
Pianist Alfonso Hernandez, and Percussionist Michael Parola. Members of the Core Ensemble are
Artists in Residence at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. The dramatic narrative includes music from
Latin America, spanning classical, popular, and folk genres. A reception will follow the program.
The program is free and open to the public. A Love Offering will benefit the Farmworker
Coordinating Council. St. Andrew’s is located at 100 North Palmway, Lake Worth Beach, FL
