Bochinche refers to "gossip." In this sense, we use it to mention HOLA members who are getting acting and performance gigs.

The 56th Annual Village Voice Obie Awards, considered by many to be Off-Broadway's highest honor, were presented May 16 at Webster Hall in the East Village. Informally structured, with no strict categories, they honor excellence in every aspect of off-Broadway theatre. The Obie Awards publish no nominations, and judges may give multiple Obies in any category, or even invent new categories, to reward exceptional artistic merit. This year's awards honored Kristoffer Díaz with the Best New American Play for The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity (the award is accompanied by a $1,000 award as well) and René Buch and Repertorio Español for Lifetime Achievement.
