About the Show
Leave a Message After…THE BEEP is Pregones/PRTT's original theater love letter to Puerto Rican voice, in all its verve: Nuyorican fire of Jesús Papoleto Melendez, Magdelena Gómez, and Mariposa Fernández — poets who turned block-party Spanglish and barrio blues into literature — meets the voice of island poets Francisco Félix Canales, Rubén Ramos Colón, and Amarilis Tavárez Vales, brought into the fold through collaboration with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico (MAC). Diaspora and homeland, call and response, on the same stage. Four foundational and beloved voices round out collection: Jesús Colón, Manuel Méndez Ballester, Julia de Burgos, Judith Ortiz Cofer.
Adapted and directed by Rosalba Rolón, with compositions and musical direction by Desmar Guevara.
