The primary component of Vilitra Vardenafil 40mg Tablets is sildenafil citrate. This is a PDE5 inhibitor chemical that increases the blood circulation in the body. It also relaxes the muscles in the penis so the erection can be held for a longer period.

The first action of Vilitra 40 is to help with arousal. As the man feels any sexual desire, he gets an erection immediately with Vilitra 40.

The Game's Afoot
Written by: Ken Ludwig
Directed by: Yannig Morin
December 5 - 28

An actor who plays Sherlock Holmes invites guests to his home for the Christmas holidays only to find he must be a real detective when a guest turns up dead.

Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” is the last of his four drawing-room plays, the previous three being “Lady Windermere’s Fan”, “A Woman Of No Importance” and “An Ideal Husband”, written a couple of hundred years ago! This farcical comedy depicts the tangled affairs of two young ‘men about town’ who lead double lives to evade unwanted social obligations, both assuming the name ‘Ernest’ while wooing the two young women of their affections. The play, celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodies contemporary dramatic norms, gently satirizes late Victorian manners, and introduces – in addition to the two pairs of young lovers – the formidable ‘Lady Bracknell’ – you must have heard of her! A luminary of Albuquerque theatre holding the director’s baton, Mario Cabrera has chosen six very well-known actors – Georgia Athearn, Nicee Brown, Clair Gardner, Jerry Hines, Bailey Hunt, Scott Sharot and Michael Weppler - to delight the audience, along with M. Cabrera, as ‘Lady Bracknell’! Performances 7.30pm Fridays and Saturdays. Additional performances Thursday Dec 11 and 18 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available). Saturday Dec 13 - 2pm only.

Flash Fiction Writing Contest to support Ethos Literacy, a nonprofit adult literacy program. The challenge: 100 words on one of these topics: chicken(s), detour, purple, something lost. Age Limit: 14+. 6 prizes including Best Youth Story (writers 14 - 17). E-Publication. Cost: $15 per story submission.
