Patricia Crespin: Vice President
{Founding Member}

Patricia Crespín is a writer, actor, director, and producer, and a native of New Mexico.  She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Performance from New Mexico Highlands University and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Dramatic Writing from the University of New Mexico.   
She has written several plays, including We are Hispanic, American Women…Okay?, El Corrido de Jórge (George’s Song), Living Purgatory, American Dreams, Confessions of a Hispanic American Woman, The Hero Within and two award winners, The Medea Complex and The Three Señorita Pigletitas y el Diablo the Wolf.  
Patricia continues to write for the stage, but now also writes for the big screen.  Her first screenplay, BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE, based on her stage play, We are Hispanic, American Women…Okay? was optioned and produced by Yellow Hat Productions in the Summer of 2009.  Patricia co-wrote the screenplay, and was Co-Producer of the film.  She has since written a teleplay titled The Legend of La Llorona, and has been a ghost writer on a new comedy screenplay soon to be produced.  
As a writer and storyteller, Patricia strives to explore Latino culture through theatre and film using bold, risqué methods that are innovative and forthright.  She is also dedicated to creating powerful, desirable roles for the under-represented, yet unique Latina.  Patricia’s hope is to become a voice for the people of New Mexico where, as she says, “the culture is rich, the people are beautiful, the land is breathtaking, and the language is its own entity.”
