HOLA Member Bochinche

Bochinche refers to "gossip". In this sense, we use it to highlight 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.


Héctor Luis Rivera, Kathy Tejada and Yvette Quintero were highlighted in the Arte NY blog, as a result of their participation in the 
Teatro Experimental Blue Amigos (TEBA) production of 3 veces De Grandy. An evening of three short plays (El probador, Traducción libre, and Abra kadabra) written by award-winning playwright and actress Julie De Grandy, the plays will be directed by Rivera and co-star Tejada and Quintero. The production will be presented in June at the Broadway Blackbox Theater, located in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood. To read the blog, which is in Spanish, click here.
