¡Hola My FB Networking Familia! Would like to see an Off-Broadway Musical Show for FREE?! Hit me up then, and be part of our team! We are looking for volunteer ushers for our upcoming up production. If you are interested, check the showtimes and please get back to me here. Thank you for your always support xo Ricardo J. Salazar Pregones Theater & The Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, present Hey Yo! Yo Soy! HEY YO! YO SOY! is a new musical with texts by Nuyorican poet and Pregones Master Artist Award recipient, Jesús Papoleto Meléndez. Distilling four decades of tumultuous and prolific literary life into 12 explosive scenes, the production pays tribute to the grit and genius of the radical author, and to the insomniac city he lovingly rebukes and immortalizes. MORE ABOUT THE SHOW: At the center of HEY YO! are New York City, the Pan-Latino enclave of East Harlem/El Barrio, and the people who lend it authenticity, international street cred, and an accent. Pregones’s formidable ensemble celebrates this uncompromising pride of place, community, and self. Like Papoleto, the performers in HEY YO! fashion language, knowledge, and Latin rhythm into fun-house mirror and whip for social justice. From the rousing Sister (para nuestras hermanas), where the poet marvels and bristles with desire, to the whimsical A Conversation With My Son, where he takes a jab at the New World Order; from the raw What Love Kills, where the narrator laments a crime of passion, to the Zen-like Happy Thought, where he finds good fortune while riding the subway, HEY YO! bristles with the passions of life’s better moments! These initial works have been re-released in, Hey Yo/Yo Soy – 40 Years of Nuyorican Street Poetry – the Bilingual Edition (2Leaf Press, 2012). The live production HEY YO! YO SOY! is directed by Rosalba Rolón with composer/musical director Desmar Guevara, and produced in association with Miriam Colón. Featuring: Jorge Castro, Chad Carstarphen, Rosal Colón, Shadia Almasri Fairuz, Gabriel Lugo, Jesus Romplique Martinez, Flaco Navaja, Joel Pérez, and Yaritza Pizarro.
