Each year an artist will be selected as the recipient of this scholarship in honor of Doreen Montalvo.
A little girl from the Bronx, rooted in her Puerto Rican culture and determined to make Broadway her home, Doreen never stopped following her dreams. She changed many lives through her art, through her mesmerizing voice and through her unending light.
The voice behind some of Broadway’s greatest songs, Doreen Montalvo, was an ardent supporter of R.Evolución Latina. Doreen was always available for anyone who needed help and she was always willing to share her talents. A champion of R.Evolución Latina from day one, she lifted up each artist, supporting the dream of making a difference through art, empowering the Latinx community and she did it all with constant joy. For 12 years, Doreen taught acting & singing at RL’s Children’s Performing Arts Camp. Every year it was clear she loved and inspired the campers and they loved her.
At the age of 44, she made her Broadway debut as part of the Original Broadway Company (OBC) of In The Heights. She went on to perform in the OBC of On Your Feet! The Story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Mrs. Doubtfire, and graced the screen in TV shows like Law and Order, Madame Secretary, The Good Wife. Her light will forever live in the films of In The Heights and West Side Story.
The Doreen Montalvo Scholarship is not only a financial award but also a mutual commitment from R.Evolución Latina to nurture and the recipient to continue to dare to go beyond as they work toward their dreams. The Selection Committee will choose the recipient not only on the basis of their past accomplishments, but also on character, leadership, and desire to enrich their art and the art of those around them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”
