PYP Alum, Alexis Jenofsky, wins Kennedy Center Regional Award for stage management for her school’s production, The Shape of Things! Synopsis After meeting in a museum, a young art student, Evelyn, and a shy,insecure student, Adam, become entangled in a steamy affair. Evelyn decides to give her new boyfriend a makeover, but just how far will she go? Set at a university, LaBute’s modern-day telling of the fall of man isn’t anything less than dangerously seductive and challenges our deeply entrenched ideas about image, identity, loyalty, love and art.

[In collaboration with NoPassport and Dominic D’Andrea, 30/30/1 was presented in Philadelphia, PA on March 22, 2014 by Plays and Players, Directors Gathering, Power Street Theatre, Philadelphia New Play Initiative and Tamanya Garza. 30/30 USLatin@/NoPassport is a national reading festival celebrating new American plays. The remarks were delivered at the 30/30/1 event on Ms. Hudes’ behalf by Gabriela Sanchez.] A day celebrating Latino playwrights? Yeah, right. Ha ha. Very funny. Though today does not appear to be April 1… Hm. And these flyers are pretty slick and well designed. If someone wanted to prank me they really went out of their way to do so. Hm. Do we get the entire twenty four hours? Or do they just give us like from noon to four and then kick us out? Oh, hold on. “They” donʼt give “us” anything? We made the day ourselves? And invited whoever was game to join in the fun? And people who werenʼt Latino actually came? Holy shit, thatʼs amazing! Oops. I probably shouldnʼt curse on Latino playwrights day. If I act too crazy theyʼll make sure this shit never happens again. Theyʼll be like, “You give ʻem a day and see what happens?” Read more… Quiara is so thrilled to invite you to see her new play, The Happiest Song Plays Last, beginning performances on February 11 in New York city and running through March 23.

The other cousin is on a movie set in Jordan, unexpectedly thrust into a starring role, as the Egyptian revolution unfolds two countries away. It’s about protest, family, la musica, and the never-ending quest to enjoy this life we’re given.The play is directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson and features a live trio of musicians led by master cuatro player Nelson Gonzales.
