About Repertorio Español
Repertorio Español is an Off-Broadway theatre company in Manhattan that presents plays from Spain, Latin America and the Hispanic United States. Producer Gilberto Zaldívar and artistic director René Buch founded it in 1968, and since 1972 it has played at the Gramercy Arts Theatre on East 27th Street, a building the company owns.
Its repertoire runs from Golden Age classics and García Lorca to Latin American novels adapted for the stage and new work by Hispanic American playwrights. It has produced more than 250 plays and holds a 2011 Obie Award for lifetime achievement and a 1996 Drama Desk special award. Since 1980 it has also staged zarzuelas and musical programs.
The company works as a true repertory ensemble: several productions run on alternating dates through the season, often with the same actors moving between them. Most performances are in Spanish with English translation for non-Spanish speakers.
More than twenty-five years in the company
Gredivel Vásquez joined Repertorio Español in November 2000 and has worked as a resident actress there ever since. She has played leads and supporting roles for three of the company's directors in particular: founding artistic director René Buch, Jorge Alí Triana and José Zayas.

New plays and staged readings
Repertorio Español also develops new work. Its Miranda Family Voces Latinx National Playwriting Competition picks finalists from scripts sent in by playwrights across the United States and Puerto Rico, and gives each one a free staged reading at the theatre.
On June 28, 2022, Gredivel played Noelia opposite Alicia Kaplan in the reading of Vistiendo Santos, Andrés Correa Guatarasma's comedy about two Dominican cousins and the American dream, one of that year's five finalists. The winning play, Las vidas rotas, later reached the stage with Gredivel as Rosa, the role that won her the 2025 Premio Talía.
