Es un honor recibir en Teatro ECAS a los actores originales de La Cuesta Mágica la cual se presentó por primera vez en Rhode Island en el año 2007. Hoy admiramos cuan lejos han llegado, con sus trabajos que aportan desde sus ramas en áreas de la medicina, ingeniería, cinematografía y derecho. Son un gran orgullo y ejemplo a seguir.
