Draft:Regina Aquino

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regina Aquino is an actress from Washington, DC.[1][2]

Aquino is the first Filipino American actress to receive a Helen Hayes Award (2019). She was nominated and received the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play.[1][3]

In an interview with DC Theater Arts, when performing in Mosaic Theater's production of Birds of North America in 2021, Aquino responded to a question about the impact of "woke" culture on the theatre rehearsal and production process with:

"The change is dramatic. Theater work today is more collaborative. Rehearsals are more humane. There are more women involved. Of course, a lot is the result of the #MeToo movement. The process feels safer. Boundaries are respected and hierarchy is less frequently imposed.”[4]
