His honors include a fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, the Louis Reyes Rivera Lifetime Achievement Award\, an Artist for Community Enrichment Award from the Bronx Council on the Arts\, and a joint fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and Combined Arts of San Diego. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBob Holman\nBob Holman is a spoken word performer\, professor\, impresario\, activist\, founder of the Bowery Poetry Club\, filmmaker\, and host of Language Matters (2015 Documentary of the Year\, Berkeley Film Festival).

SUMMARY:Angie Hernandez Gifts of the Magi at the Loisaida Center
DESCRIPTION:Location: Loisaida Center – 710 East 9th Street\, New York\, NY 10009\nDate: January\, 6th\, 2025\nDescription: Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6 throughout the Spanish-speaking world to mark the birth of Jesus and the gifts brought to the child by the Magi after following the star of Bethlehem\, which guided them through their journey. This tradition continues\, especially in the Loisaida community of Manhattan\, by the Puerto Rican families. In 2000\, with the support and encouragement of Carlos “Chino” Garcia and CHARAS\, María de los Angeles “Angie” Hernández Osorio\, an indefatigable advocate for Boricua culture\, education\, and the arts\, presented her first production of “The Gifts of the Magi.” The play was originally a longer theatrical piece showcased at the Henry Street Playhouse\, titled; “Peace/La Paz\,” co-written with Nuyorican poet Tato Laviera in the late ’80s. It has taken on various forms since its inception and evolved to a shorter\, more musical version\, produced and directed by Angie’s son\, musician\, and current board member of CHARAS\, David “Daso” Soto\, and presented at the Loisaida Center. \nThis year’s version of Angie Hernandez’ Gifts of the Magi will be presented exclusively to local children at the Loisaida Center on January 6\, 2025\, to celebrate the power of love\, family\, hope\, and the joy of childhood. \nCast: \n3 Kings: Kiki Cotto\, Marc Reign\, David Hernandez \nAstronomer: Ivan Calcano\n\nHerod: David DāSo Soto \nMary: Caridad De La Luz\nJoseph: Eric Diaz\n3 Dancers CAMELS / VEJIGANTES: Casidy\, Skylar & Sasha\n\nYoung Jesus: Pending\nGrown Jesus: Pending\n\n\n(*To be updated.)
