In "Fade," Two Latinos Cross Paths at a Hollywood Studio

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 21, 2017

Actors Annie Dow and Eddie Martinez are starring in the New York premiere of “Fade” at Primary Stages. “Fade” is a comedy about the burgeoning friendship between Lucia (Dow) and Abel (Martinez), two Latinos of Mexican descent working at a Hollywood studio. Lucia is a novelist, newly hired to write for a TV detective series and struggling to find her place among a team of domineering white male co-workers. Abel is one of the studio’s janitors, compassionate to Lucia’s difficulties and generous with his opinions and personal anecdotes which keeps them in an absorbing tête-à-tête throughout their workdays.

"Fade" runs through Sunday, March 5th at Primary Stages at 38 Commerce Street. For more information, click here.
