Rosalba Rolón and Rosal Colón: Mother Daughter On Stage OUT LOUD!

On this episode of Latinos Out Loud, Rachel La Loca chats with performing arts pros and mother-daughter duo, Rosalba Rolón and Rosal Colón. Rosalba is the Artistic Director of the Pregones and Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, while her daughter Rosal is an actress, and has now made her stage directorial debut with The Wedding March. You may know Rosal from the many TV roles she’s played like “Juliana Ayala” on Power Book III: Raising Kanan (Starz) and “Ouija” on Orange is the New Black (Netflix). Her film credits include The Lost Girls (Netflix), The Dead Don’t Die (Focus Features) and Can You Ever Forgive Me? (Fox Searchlight) Part of the company’s original musical theater repertory, The Wedding March is based on Judith Ortiz Cofer’s acclaimed book Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood. It was first adapted for the stage and directed by Rosalba in 1991, and this revival is a beautiful passing of the baton to her daughter, Rosal. The production is "a lyrical performance on womanhood, memory, and cultural identity as a Puerto Rican woman reclaims the haunting, humorous, and formative tales passed down by generations of women before her. It’s a moving journey across Puerto Rico and New York, heritage, and transformation.” The show stars Jenyvette Vega, Gabriel Leyva and Fernando Contreras, and runs at the PRTT through May 3.
