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.

Zahaira Curiel has just joined the cast of Plátanos and Collard Greens. The long running show, which is written by David Lamb and directed by Summer Hill Seven, continues to have performances at the Baruch Performing Arts Center in the Gramercy area of Manhattan.

Gilbert Cruz and Susanna Guzmán will appear in the short play Comida de p*ta (F@$king Lousy Food).
