HOPE

hope - (v) \ˈhōp\ - to want something to happen or be true

Written and Performed by Hope Salas
Directed by Erika Latta

HOPE was performed September 22 - October 13, 2018 at The Wild Project, NYC.


HOPE is the story of three women: Rose, a prostitute in the 1950's; Alice, a spirited, yet haunted wife and mother; and Hope, an Irish-Mexican storyteller who examines the fragments of her life in order to understand how she has survived and how she will thrive in the second half of her life. It is a darkly comic play about women's voices and women's choices; addiction and abuse; healing and survival. It is about HOPE.


Press from Fall 2018 run of hope by Hope Salas, Directed by Erika Latta

“Captivating… unquestionably earns every one of the five stars we’re giving it.” - Opplaud

“Great acting, Great staging, Absorbing, Intense, Thought-provoking!” - Show Score

“…She is a multi-threat, people; don’t forget, Salas wrote this amazing gem loaded with
poetry of phrase and many full servings of keeping it real.” - Margaret Echeverria, Front Row Center

“This edgy and unhinged performance was so dynamic, I couldn’t take my eyes off Ms. Salas.
She effectively shifted between characters, committing to various personas. Her timing was impeccably precise…”
-Mehr Gunawardena, All About Solo
