Staged Readings

Continuing to showcases an electrifying array of never before seen works and fostering the voices of writers that are defining international theater in New York, La Voz de los Autores picks up on 2012 and becomes all the more remarkable.

The fact that there are now quantum physics, telepathic connections, madness in a hurricane, houses that twist reality and lovers fighting to the death, might lead you to believe you are in living in a world so full of overwhelming sentiment and mind boggling thoughts that you might at any moment breakdown. That is why (besides the usual extraordinary Vanguardia) this year, after you pay the $5 ticket, a glass of that red elixir of life—vino—will be waiting for you.

…That ought to alleviate the symptoms caused by our Vanguardia—at least for a night…

We are extremely excited for this—and it’s really not just the booze.
