“ A rich, thoughtful piece about family, language, and the walls we build around ourselves. --The extra layer that this piece gives is my own reliance to a translator-- I know some but not much and when it came time for that beautiful monologue at the end I was blown away and left a little sad knowing that I was no better than the ignorant grandchild portrayed in HOW DO YOU SAY, HOLA. Beautiful and tragic. Well done Art Por Diaz! ”

“ A powerful ten-minute about family, generations, identity, the culture we decide to hold on to, and the culture we decide to lose. The use of both English and Spanish is used to great effect, and the characters are drawn with such ease and clarity. HOLD DO YOU SAY, HOLA makes me excited to read more of Art Por Diaz's work. ”

“ This is a great short play about cross communication within immigrant families and the power of being close to your past your present and your future! This piece would be a great addition to any ten minute festival!

“ A beautiful short about communicating across generations in immigrant households, and the power of words no matter the language. The ending made me a little misty. ”
