Actor Lali Espósito donates seven outfits from her wardrobe to aid La Casa del Teatro.
Spunky Redo:
In the thick of modern mayhem, a heartwarming move brought a bit of life back into one of Argentina's most iconic stage homes. Pop sensation Lali Esposito stepped up to help La Casa del Teatro by gifting seven swanky gowns she'd worn at various events and performances. The aim? To lend a hand to the institution that currently provides shelter for over thirty retired thespians.
Curious about what's cooking with Mama Esposito? You might fancy a nibble of the buzz surrounding her mom's influence in Lali's new album: "Ay, you're all grown up!"
The ball got rolling when Linda Peretz, the house's current matriarch and esteemed actress, aired the financial predicament they were facing. Peretz's own story, shared in a chat with La Criti, revealed that our beloved Lamu discovered their call to arms through her mom, Majo Riera. No time was wasted in responding to the cry. The gowns, gratefully received, will soon find a new home in an auction designed to rake in some dough.
"I couldn't wait to pass on seven frocks I've rocked at various shindigs to spruce up La Casa's coffers," Peretz shared.

Built in 1938, La Casa del Teatro serves as a sanctuary and abode for elderly actors and actresses counting on the kindness of strangers for their golden years. Over the years, the building nestled on Santa Fe Avenue has become a beacon of unity and survival for the artistic community, but also a testament to chronic structural struggles.
"The attention from Lali Esposito and the whole shabang she brought was significant, yet it's just a drop in the ocean," Peretz admitted. She also admitted that they're clutching at financial straws: "We can't bear any costs. We're always in debt." The maintenance of the building, services, and medical care for the residents are expenses they can barely afford.
In this dire situation, Lali Esposito's generosity signifies more than a simple monetary contribution. For Peretz, it represents a beacon of support for the entire community. "I'm chuffed!" she declared. "My dream is for La Casa del Teatro to stand on its own two feet, to operate without a constant deficit. To live comfortably, secured financially and economically."
The seven gowns will soon call La Casa's Vintage Wardrobe home, available for auction in the coming days. The plan, according to the actress, is to organize an unforgettable gala event. The proceeds from the sale will provide welcome relief for the institution's economy and, symbolically, bestow historical significance upon the gowns.
"Steel yourself, because we're gunning for nothing less than a blowout, a smashing celebration worthy of the cause!"** Peretz promised, flaunting the emotional heft that gala preparations have on the entire team.
On display in the same building where the retired artists abide, the Frock Store opens its doors daily from 2 to 6 PM and operates as a secondary income source. It's here where clothing, shoes, and accessories from artists and entertainment world VIPs are sold at affordable prices. But with the arrival of Lali's dresses, the sentimental value of a single item received a major boost.
Word of Lali's act of kindness was kept under wraps. No official statements were made by the singer, but a swift decision to assist was firmly made. "She heard it from Majo, her mom, and jumped on board right away," Linda confirmed.
Online shout-outs of gratitude flooded in swiftly. From the official account of La Casa del Teatro, they wrote: "In times like these, when love for culture and those who cherish it is essential, moves like Lali's stoke a fire. Thank you, Lali, for considering our artists and acting with such heart!"
