ACTING

Below are some of the productions that I have participated in as a performer. These extend from in-person productions to virtual productions done through Zoom during the Covid-19 pandemic 

Captain/Ensemble
 

The Old Man has filled the moon with liquid light each day for longer than any of us can recall. When the Old Woman sails west in search of a long-lost memory, the Old Man embarks on an epic quest to find his wife. PigPen Theatre Co.'s The Old Man and the Old Moon is a sea-faring fable of dusty promises kept, deleterious adventures taken, and the deathless forces that run our world.

Director: Emily Ritger

Production: Loyola University Chicago

 EVERYBODY

Just so you know: Everybody dies at the end of the show. Also, it’s a comedy. A groundbreaking adaptation of the medieval morality play The Summoning of Everyman, Branden Jacob-Jenkins’s Everybody considers what we bring with us into death and what we leave behind. Just as life is unpredictable, actors are randomly assigned a new role every night. With dozens of possible casting combinations, audiences will witness a performance unlike anything they have ever seen. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, this metatheatrical piece asks the existential questions without the heaviness, making death both witty and full of life.

The Boys and The Nuns

Sophia
 

To pass the Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, members of Chicago’s LGBT+ community and an order of Catholic Sisters come together to change both their city and their world. Set in the 1980s, this play with music explores dignity, identity, and the power of faith in a striking period of Chicago history.

Operation Pedro Pan

Yenaví

Devised by Mariana Gonzalez

Directed by Sandra Delgado  

OPERATION PEDRO PAN is the true story of how in the early 1960s over 14,000 unaccompanied minors immigrated from Cuba to Miami with the help of the Catholic Church in order to escape the persecution of Fidel Castro’s regime. Inspired by the common lack of understanding of these events and how they affected the individuals involved and their families, Mariana beautifully tells her own family’s experience of these events. PEDRO PAN centers on themes of the importance of family, love, and sacrifice. PEDRO PAN seeks to educate people about such an important event in American History and cultivate empathy and understanding for the many people who suffered from it, and continue to do so. Mariana is seeking Latinx and Hispanic identifying actors to help her tell this story.
