Luis E. Mora, Executive Director of Bilingual Broadway Collective (BBCo), shares, “The United States of America is a place where speaking Spanish publicly is reason enough to be taken into custody, despite the US having the second largest Spanish speaking population in the world. There are more Spanish speakers in the US than in my native Colombia. While I have always advocated for the inclusion of Spanish in the performing arts, this context makes bilingualism today an act of defiance and more important than ever.”
The Addams Family has a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. Bilingual preparation was done by BBCo’s Executive Director Luis E. Mora with musical preparation by Ensemble member Kevin Luis.
Bilingual Broadway Collective is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating language, culture, and creativity through the power of the performing arts. Through our live productions, media campaigns, arts education programs, and community partnerships, we create opportunities for individuals to explore storytelling in English and Spanish.
