HOLA Member Bochinche

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

Mahammatt Baba, Sara Contreras and Louis Vuolo will star in the Teatro LATEA production of Sunshine. Written by Lawrence Dukore and directed by Verónica Caicedo, the play will have a June run in LATEA's eponymous theater in the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center (home to HOLA) in Manhattan's Loísaida neighborhood. [Baba, shown at left, found out about the audition after reading about it in HOLA's e-mail announcements that it sends to its members and self-submitting.]
