A performance update from Gladys!

Hello, friends - I know it's been a minute and I'll get back to you on that another time. Right now, I wanted to make you aware of a theatre piece that I am part of in December, with performances set to run from Dec 10th -15th, 2024, right here in New York City. Information about the show is below in case you’d like to come see it. A caveat, though: it’s set in a women’s prison and has adult themes, so we recommend it for ages 16 and up. La Paloma Prisoner by Raquel Almazán is a multi-disciplinary play about the reclamation of identity by women in the Colombian prison system. Directed by Estefanía Fadul and based on the true stories of a group of incarcerated women selected as beauty queen contestants at the Buen Pastor prison in Bogotá, this new play interweaves the ritualistic journey of a “parade of prisoners” within Colombia’s social, political, and spiritual history. The play centers on an infamous woman nicknamed “La Paloma” who transcendentally soars beyond physical and societal barriers to avenge the raped women of Bogotá. Her actions revolutionize the women’s lives, Bogotá’s prison society, and the world beyond its walls. This piece was developed over 15 years across four countries, and I (Gladys) have been a part of its development since almost the beginning (2010!). No pressure, of course. I just know that if you were in a show I’d want to know. 😊 Thank you and hope to see you soon! Warmly, Gladys Info on the show: The La Paloma Prisoner Project is Raquel Almazan’s theatre initiative about the reclamation of identity by incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women, and sharing those stories through workshops, advocacy and community partnerships. Developed from her long-standing work with incarcerated and impacted communities, the associated play, La Paloma Prisoner, directed by Estefanía Fadul, will have its Workshop Premiere at Chelsea Factory. Performances run from Dec 10th -15th, 2024, with a panel discussion held after the 12/13 (Friday) performance with decarceration advocates (details below)*. Tickets are available at Chelsea Factory site.
La Paloma Prisoner Creative and Production Team Playwright/Co-Producer: Raquel Almazán ••••• *Panelists for the December 13 post-show discussion with decarceration advocates will include:

It's a new year, Reader, and I wish you happiness and health for the entire year. But I have to admit that I write this with great sadness because on January 3rd my god-brother (godson to my parents) Jose Juan Colon, someone who was a big brother to me, passed away less than two months after being diagnosed with cancer. In this new year, those of us that love Jose are now left with picking up pieces, including his mother who's lost her only son after losing her husband and best friend (my...
Hi Reader, These days with the world on fire and heartbreak everywhere, it feels stupid to write to you to say “How are you and here’s a tip for working smarter/better/happier, yadda yadda yadda.” And yet, all I see in my inbox these days are Black Friday - exhortations to make offers and sell my services, and also to buy-buy-buy. This is giving me a lot of stress. I mean, yes - I am a business owner and yes, I am a consumer, but geez-louise - enough is enough! Holidays are hard, everything’s...
Hi Reader, How's your summer gone thus far? Did it fly by? Mine did and I'm ready for fall now, mainly because I bought some really adorable cool weather shoes. Since we actors and writers are still on strike, I also purchased a good pair of sneakers so I can picket more comfortably, especially in closed-toe shoe weather. August felt like it took forever to end. My friend Amy also said that waiting for school to start seemed never-ending and all she wanted to do was sleep. That tracks. But...
