On Monday night at the Jeff Awards, the Chicago Theatre came together for a night of Art and Celebration. 
Congratulations to all the artists who were nominated, including Drury Lane's production of On Your Feet. A Latine-led production nominated for a Jeff Award for Best Production. Congratulations to Claudia Quesada who received a Jeff Award for Best Supporting Performer and to our very own Luis Salgado for his Jeff Award for Best Choreography.

Congratulations to all the nominees!

I AM PROUD OF MY ROOTS

Long before ships, before borders, before systems that tried to measure human value, there was rhythm. There was drum language. There was circle. There was the earth under bare feet and the understanding that sound could carry memory, prayer, story, and community. Africa is a starting point of civilization, artistry, spirituality, and joy. What slavery interrupted, it did not create. Modern scholarship makes clear what our bodies have always known: Before chains, there was rhythm. African culture did not begin with slavery. We may watch dances, rituals, and moments of history and still frame them only through oppression — but I choose to uplift them as something far greater. Bomba lives in our truth — the truth before chains. Bomba is not the sound of oppression. It is the sound of life. Survival. Growth. Community. Earth and beyond. It is the sound of continuity. A door to what was and what can be. It is the sound of a people remembering themselves in real time. It may even be a path ...

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.

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...

TODAY WE OPEN 1776

No one truly knows what it means to experience the sacrifice, the passion, the pain, and the joy that come with walking—faithfully—toward one’s dreams. Some things are easy, others deeply complex. Some are achieved, others are left behind. But in the end… being able to create ART is the highest purpose. And why do we make art? Because the human experience we share is immeasurable. Because we need to feel, to question, to connect. My design team for  1776  is exceptional: Scenic Design: Milagros Ponce de León Costume Design: Ivania Stack Lighting Design: Venus Gulbranson Sound Design: David Budries Projection Design: Clint Allen Props Design: Marie Schneggenburger  & Hair & Make-up Design: Kelley Jordan Orchestrations: Daniel Gutiérrez Music Director: Clay Ostwald Dialects and Voice Director: Rachel Hirshorn-Johnston Production Stage Manager: Craig A.
