HAPPY HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH!

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by...
1. Becoming a Theatre Angel for as little as $1.00. Veteran character actor Rudy Ramos and writer Janelle Miraz Hooper have brought their considerable talents together in Ramos' one-man play about Apache leader Geronimo in Geronimo, Life on the Reservation. I was fortunate to see the production in rough form earlier this year and it's AMAZING. All Rudy needs is a few dollars more to take this outstanding, historically based, touching and entertaining show on the road. I donated to Rudy's Kickstarter campaign. Will you?

2. Reading a book. ALMA winning actor/writer/comedian/director/producer Rick Najera's autobiographical Almost White: Forced Confessions of a Latino in Hollywood is much like its multiple award-winning author - political, personal, passionate, funny and insightful. Available in softcover and ebook.



3. Buying artwork. Artist JoAnn Peralta created a gorgeous oil portrait of renowned ALMA winning actor Henry Darrow in his breakout role as sexy Manolito Montoya of The High Chaparral. The original oil hangs in Darrow's home, an 80th birthday gift to him from his wife, Lauren Levian. But fans can now buy their own high quality Giclee' on canvas print of this gorgeous portrait, signed by both the artist and by Henry Darrow. Pre-orders are being taken now from The Greenwich Workshop.

Available print only (framed or unframed) or special package discount deal incuding autographed print and autographed copy of Henry's award-winning biography, Henry Darrow: Lightning in the Bottle.

4. Reading another book. Henry Darrow was a Hollywood pioneer and mentor to Rick Najera, A Martinez and many other successful actors. In 2012, the legendary performer was honored with the NCLR ALMA Award for Lifetime Achievement. His award-winning biography, Henry Darrow: Lightning in the Bottle, is available in signed softcover, softcover and ebook.

  1. Rudy made his Kickstarter goal! Look for "Geronimo: Life on the Reservation" coming to a theatre near you.
