Rita Moreno Named Inaugural Speaker for ¡VOZ! Congreso, New Latino Series at the Kimmel Center, 4/11
Kimmel Center Presents launches ¡Voz! Congreso at the Kimmel Center, a new three year initiative that provides intimate conversations with acclaimed Latino celebrities and intellectuals. Living legendRita Moreno is the inaugural speaker of Voz! Congreso on Wednesday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Perelman Theater.
At a stunning 80 years young, the artist who originated the silver screen role of Anita in the film version of West Side Story returns to the stage to share My Life from Zero to Sixty Plus Twenty, a 60 minute journey of Moreno’s triumphant and challenging roles in film, TV, and on stage. Q&A opportunity immediately follows for audience members.
An industry icon with 70 years of acting, theater and artistic experience, Rita Moreno is one of the most celebrated female entertainers in show business. The trailblazing star of Puerto Rican descent is the only female performer to have won all four of the most prestigious show business awards – the Oscar, the Emmy, the Tony and the Grammy – and has set an unparalleled bar only matched by her onstage exuberance. Moreno is currently juggling performances of her own one-woman stage show, Life Without Make-up, with television appearances as Fran Drescher's mother in TV Land's Happily Divorced. In addition, Moreno is preparing to record a new album as a follow up to her eponymous CD and is currently at work penning her autobiography.
¡Voz! Congreso at the Kimmel Center is generously sponsored by Health Partners of Philadelphia, Congreso, and UGI Corporation.
