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.
Marco Antonio Rodríguez's award winning play La luz de un cigarrillo will be published by NOPE Press. Edited by Rodríguez (shown at above right), Miranda Martínez and Caridad Svich, it will feature playwright notes, detailed production history and the original cast list (an all-HOLA member cast with Susanna Guzmán, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Arisleyda Lombert and Teresa Yenque, shown below, clockwise from bottom left) from the 2011 HOLA Award-winning production at Teatro LATEA. The book (its front and back cover can be seen at left), can be bought online by clicking here.
