Drama Alums in Rivera’s Reworking of His Play References To Salvador Dali Make Me Hot at The New School

Playwright Jose Rivera has rewritten his own Obie-winning play, References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot, and is working with the cast of ABroad Stage Company’s first production on what he calls the “new world premiere.” This new production will be performed at The New School for Drama Theater July 10–19 under the direction of Drama Playwriting chair Pippin Parker, and features Drama alums Sara Gozalo ('09), Adriana Munera-Checho ('08), Mike Keller ('08), Federico Trigo ('08), and current student Emma Ramos (’10) and Drama faculty member Paul Ryan Rudd.
ABroad Stage Company is a new platform for artists with the goal of making a living at their craft by providing an infrastructure for every company member to produce his or her own dream project; this production was spear-headed by Gozalo. In addition to Gozalo, Munera-Checho, and Ramos, other company members include Drama students and alums Brittany Bellizeare (’09), Chaelon Costello (’10), Jennifer McVey (’09), and Jason R. Stroud (’09).
Performances will be at The New School for Drama Theater, 151 Bank Street, 3rd Floor. For more information, performance schedule, and to order tickets, visit www.abroadstageco.com.
