Members Plinio Villablanca and Victor Cruz will appear in IATI Theater's newest production Eyes That Don't See, Corazón Que No Siente. Written by Michael Leon and directed by Victoria Collado, the play is a tribute and a reclamation of the American family dramas. The play straddles two worlds that are at complete odds with each other. As the main character is grappling with her role in society and in her family as a first generation Cuban-American, the style of the play begins to shift in order to embody her inner struggle. The play draws influences from Arthur Miller, Eugene O’Neill, Maria Irenes Fornes and José Rivera.

Performance will go from June 8th to June 10th. Also in the cast, Lina Sarrello*, Ashley Alvarez, Jonny Rios, Jezabel Montero*, Matt McDonald, Rene Granado, and Adriana Gaviria* (* Appearing Courtesy of the Actors' Equity Association). For more information, click here. 




Starting May 31st at the Paper Mill House, Revolución Latina Co-Founder director and HOLA member Gabriela Garcia comes back to the stage with Half Time The Musical. She joins Broadway legends Donna McKechnie, Lillas White and more in this new musical directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell. 







Luis Salgado was recognized for artistic work and the inspiration he shares with the community at GALA Hispanic Theatre's 2018 Noche de Estrellas in Washington DC. Luis celebrated the work of GALA and it's founders Hugo Medrano y Rebecca Read Medrano. Felicitaciones, Luis!
