HOLA Member Bochinche

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

Joseph Menchaca, shown at left, booked a role on the film Be A Real Man (directed by Ricardo Bacallao) through an HOLA casting referral.

Anthony Ruiz, shown at right, booked the role of José in Brett Sorem's film Pablo on Wheels (from Nocturnal Features) through an HOLA casting notice.

Luis Salgado e-mailed us to let us know that the project he recently directed, Pushing Daisy, received three nominations for the 2011 Planet Connections Theatre Festivity Awards— Outstanding Actor (Etai BenShlomo) and Outstanding Actress (Elysia Segal) and Outstanding Overall Production.
