Taking on the role as El Duende for this Little Opera meant learning to read music. This was something he had never done making the thought of doing it frightening. Each word must be exact to the music, not too fast, not too slow. In the end Juan was successful and Maria de Buenos Aires really spearheaded his career, opening new doors for acting.<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>La Vida Inesperada<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The process of auditioning for the role of Claudio, is an unforgettable one and a first. After being invited to an audition, Juan didn&#8217;t think much of the role as there wasn&#8217;t much detail in who was part of the performance. After being called back for a second audition, he had a conversation with the gentlemen, who turned out to be the director. Juan was asked to join them and Javier C\u00e1mara for lunch, which he accepted. After seeing the professional chemistry between the two actors, it was decided that he would play the role. The process and the outcome was something to be remembered.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Entremeses de Cervantes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the Siglo de Oro, short plays or &#8220;entremeses&#8221; became common. These were quick 15-20 minute performances that can be done anywhere and anytime. In the mid and late 90&#8217;s, Jos\u00e9 Cheo Oliveras decided to reproduce an entremeses. It was so well received that other theater&#8217;s began to proposition him for more performances. Juan had taken part in the original performance, and after 2 more short plays were added, he began performing these entremeses throughout New York City, Spain, France, and then Russia. The demand for the short play was a first time experience for Juan which moved him across continents.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Erendira &amp; Nelson II Rodriguez<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During his time at the Spanish Repertory Theater, Juan play in both Erendira &amp; Nelson II Rodriguez.
