A DAY OF HOPE: I wrote this Nov 4, 2026

  TODAY IS A DAY OF HOPE. Today is a very special day. Our communities have taken action. We have shown up. We have exercised one of the greatest freedoms we hold as a people:  the right to vote. And today, we have reason to feel hopeful again. We see new faces, new voices, and new possibilities emerging in our government. Leaders who look more like us, speak like us, understand our communities, and reflect the beautiful diversity of this country. Leaders who can help restore balance, representation, and hope. As the founder and artistic director of  R.Evolución Latina , I have always believed that while our organization does not engage directly in partisan politics,  one of our most powerful political acts is ART. Art is how we speak. How we resist. How we heal. How we build bridges. How we remind the world of our humanity. And today, perhaps we wear our hearts a little more openly in blue, celebrating the possibility of a future where hatred is not the loudest voic...

1776... A Diamond Forged in Fire: Reflections as we close at Ford's Theatre

Image
 Tomorrow, May 16th, we close 1776 . And today, as I reflect on this journey, I can honestly say this has been one of the most inspiring experiences of my career. As a director, one dreams of those rare moments when every department comes together with precision, passion, artistry, and trust. When the pressure is high enough to polish the diamond. That is what 1776 became for me. This process demanded everything. Detail. Patience. Listening. Courage. Precision. Humanity. For months — and truly, for years through all the roads that led here — we worked to get this right. Every transition. Every visual beat. Every emotional turn. Every conversation about history, storytelling, rhythm, tension, and truth. Thank you FORD'S! This production reminded me why I love directing... somehow, through that intensity, something extraordinary emerged. It all reminded me that theatre is one of the greatest collaborative art forms in existence. We had some of the finest actors in Washington D....
