El Universal: Juan Ferrara Stars in "No te vayas sin decir adiós" After Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo Cedes Role

In a heartwarming display of camaraderie within the arts community, veteran actor Juan Ferrara has taken the stage in the production "No te vayas sin decir adiós." The play, penned by Óscar Ortiz de Pinedo for his father, Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo, was initially slated for Jorge to star in. However, a heartfelt conversation with Ferrara, a friend of six decades, led to a change of plans.
