HOLA Member Bochinche

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

Dennis Brito, shown at right, won the Best Actor Award at the The Strawberry One-Act Festival Awards for the summer 2011 festival of the same name. He won for his work in Robert D. Argen's play Paid Off. The festival and the awards took place at the Hudson Guild Theater in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. For more information, click here.

Elaine Del Valle, shown at left, picked up a IT Award nomination for the Outstanding Solo Performance from the Innovative Theatre Foundation for self-penned solo show Brownsville Bred (when presented at the Nuyorican Poets' Café in Manhattan's Loísaida neighborhood).
