As we move closer and closer to opening night for ¡Viva la Revolución!, our Day of the Dead celebration, Olga has been sharing insight to the development process of this original work. On her team of collaborators are multi-threat talents of actors, singers, dancers and all around creative heads, and we’d like to use this blog to introduce you to this year’s muertos. (Watch for more artist profiles every week or read those that have already been published.)
