Welcome to the inaugural post of the Anthony Acevedo Educational Foundation's blog. As President of the foundation, I am thrilled to use this platform to keep you informed and engaged with the many projects we are undertaking to honor and perpetuate the legacy of my father, Anthony Acevedo. Though I was unable to attend due to personal commitments, the recent workshop of the monodrama "Undesirable Secrets" in Santa Fe was a landmark event that I am eager to share with you.

Held at the Teatro Paraguas black box theatre, the workshop featured the immense talents of co-directors William Doll and Pete Kuzov, who also serves as co-producer alongside Robin Long. A highlight of the event was the first night’s performance by playwright Rodolfo Alvarado, whose dedication to bringing my father's story to life has been deeply moving. His portrayal was so impactful that discussions are now underway about casting him as Anthony Acevedo in the full production. This possibility adds an exciting dimension to the project, promising a portrayal filled with authenticity and depth.

Significant progress was made on refining the script during the workshop. Key edits were implemented to strengthen the narrative, emphasizing the crucial theme of breaking silence when burdened by a secret— a theme that resonates deeply with the experiences and trials my father endured.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Pete and his daughters for their generous hospitality, which greatly contributed to the success of the workshop. Their support was invaluable and made the event not only productive but also warm and welcoming.

This blog will serve as a bridge to share these developments and more, as we continue to advance our mission to educate and inspire through my father's extraordinary history. Stay tuned for more updates as we further develop "Undesirable Secrets" and prepare to bring this poignant story to audiences around the globe.

Thank you for your support and for joining us on this important journey. Your interest and engagement are what drive us forward.

With gratitude, Rebeca Carlin-Acevedo
