Cecilia Brooke Cholka and Joanne Lopez will be the guests on "The Lisa D Show" today from 1 - 2 p.m. on KHRO 1150 am. Tune in or stream the show fromhttp://main.talkradio1150.com/. The two are co-directors of "Confessions of Women from East L.A." by Josefina Lopez, which will be performed Jan. 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chamizal.

"Confessions of Women from East L.A." gives spectators a serious yet humorous take on what living in the United States is like for women of Latin descent. Although every character is different, López believes that each represents a part of a Latin woman. “Latina women have always been categorized and portrayed as virgins, mothers and whores in plays, movies and television. I don’t like that, because I am none of them. I am a combination of all of them…Latinas are complex, diverse and powerful” she says.

"Confessions of Women from East L.A." is the reappearance and latest production of Los Actores, El Paso’s Spanish bilingual theater company. Because the play deals with mature subject matter, parental discretion is advised.

Tickets are $8 for general admission and $6 for full-time students and seniors 65 or older. Tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. on performance evenings and at the Los Actores website, at www.losactores.org. Groups of 10 people or more can take advantage of a special $5 rate by purchasing tickets online at least 48 hours in advance, or by calling 915.240,6128.

A talk radio show is born

Several years ago, I filled in as a guest host on a local talk radio show about politics. Live and caller driven, my first day found me in front of mic for three hours; radio has been a serious passion ever since. One of my favorite talk radio formats is the live interview with a compelling guest and anonymous callers throwing in their opinions. Blending together improv, comedy, journalism, preaching and more, this format provides the guest, host and callers a level of human interaction that is truly unique. Adding technology to the mix (texting, Facebook, Twitter), the experience becomes multidimensional. Unique and multidimensional forms of communication are extremely rare and keeping them alive is one of my newfound missions. I invite you to tune in, online or on the radio, and join in the conversation for a new and exciting way to do the only thing we hold truly unique as a species, talk.
