HOLA Member Bochinche

* Bochinche refers to "gossip." In this sense, we use it to mention HOLA members who are getting acting gigs.

Raquel Almazán recently appeared in an episode of "Law & Order Special Victims Unit" (NBC).

Lina Sarrello is quite busy these days. The actor-playwright-choreographer is in rehearsals for her role as Lady Capulet in the Soñadores Inc./Teatro LA TEA production of Romeo and Juliet (for which she is also co-choreographing). That play is scheduled for a May premiere at LA TEA's theater in the Loisaida neighborhood of Manhattan. In addition, two plays that she wrote were selected for production in two festivals. Her play Life Could Be Un Sueño is slated to open the Downtown Urban Theater Festival at the HERE Arts Center in the SoHo neighborhod of Manhattan and her solo show ¡Oye Mami! was selected to be presented at The ONE Festival at LA TEA.

Teatro LA TEA will present the fourth annual festival of monologues/solo shows. Titled The ONE Festival, the festival is scheduled for April 2009 at LA TEA's eponymous theater in the Loisaida neighborhood of Manhattan. The festival will present plays by Lina Sarrello (see above), Carlos Andrés Gómez, Danny Gonzales, Micia Moseley, Tanya Pérez, Sunilda Caraballo and others.

The Downtown Urban Theater Festival will present plays by playwrights Lina Sarrello (see above), Carlos Andrés Gómez, Mel Nieves, Patricia Ione Lloyd, Dina Laura, Pamela Sneed, Paul S. Flores, Julio Cárdenas, KimLeigh Smith and others at the HERE Arts Center in New York in June 2009.
