  A Night of Celebration and Hope: Latine Stories on Broadway Tonight, I have the honor of attending the opening night of  Real Women Have Curves  on Broadway — a landmark moment that fills me with pride, excitement, and hope. This moment is made even more meaningful knowing that my mentor,  Sergio Trujillo , is leading the charge as both director and choreographer, showing the world the excellence of Latine leadership at the highest level. For the first time ever,  two Latine-themed shows  are running on Broadway at the same time:  Real Women Have Curves and  Buena Vista Social Club . This is monumental. To understand the magnitude of this achievement, we have to look back at the journey Latine stories have taken on Broadway stages: A Brief History of Latine-Themed Broadway Shows West Side Story  (1957): Opened the door by depicting Puerto Rican characters and blending Latin rhythms into musical theatre. Zoot Suit  (1979): Luis Valdez b...

Reflexiones desde mi Sala: OR CALL IT MY HEART IS BLEEDING TRUTH!

  Entre Libros y Ritmos: Reflexiones desde mi Sala Esta semana me he refugiado en mi sala, rodeado de libros, escribiendo un nuevo show. Pienso en mi trayectoria y me parece fascinante cómo mis inicios moldearon mi versatilidad. Aunque he transitado muchos caminos, la verdad es que, como hoy siente mi hijo, el baile fue lo que se robó mi corazón en mis primeros años como artista. Ingresé a la Universidad de Puerto Rico audicionando como actor y fui aceptado. Estudié, pero en aquel tiempo mi mayor ingreso económico venía de mis pasos y del carisma que encontraba en el movimiento. Ya en Nueva York me tocó trabajar duro, pero también tenía herramientas pedagógicas que me permitieron vivir enseñando y bailando, mientras seguía desarrollando mi carrera actoral. El método Meisner, Suzuki y Viewpoints dieron nuevos giros a mi vida. Siempre he aprendido observando a los grandes, y cuando las oportunidades llegaron, entendí de verdad todo lo que la academia me había ofrecido. Porque la prác...

This is for sure A Theatre Lover’s Journey  Over the past 10 days, I had the opportunity to see 21 shows in London—an experience that has left me utterly inspired and reaffirmed my passion for theatre. I still can't quite believe I managed to catch so many performances in such a short time! This reminds me of my time at the  Festival de Otoño  in Spain, where I also had a similar immersive art experience, or my time in Oregon recently. There's something about these moments that allow me to recharge, creatively and spiritually. As I reflect on this whirlwind theatre adventure, I can't help but chuckle at how many people ask me, "Why so many shows?" It’s funny, but my answer is always the same: Theatre is life. it's my craft, my profession nd my PASSION! It's also a way to refocus, connect with purpose, and yes, indulge in great meals and magical moments with like-minded friends. From laughter that left me in tears to moments of profound emotional depth, Lon...
