Bochinche refers to “gossip”. In this sense, we use it to mention HOLA members or Friends of HOLA who are getting acting, performance or similarly artistic gigs and/or recognition in the media. The names of HOLA members and Friends of HOLA are listed below in boldface. To see what other HOLA members are doing currently, click here.

Robin De Jesús, shown at left, performed in the ninth annual Broadway Backwards concert, which features male singers performing songs traditionally sung by women and females singing tunes written for men. The fundraiser took place on Monday, March 24, 2014 at Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theater and raised a record-breaking $423,118 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (commonly called The Center). De Jesús opened the second act of the evening by singing "Prehistoric Man" from the Comden-Green-Bernstein musical On The Town.
