MARTICA DE CARDENAS is positively thrilled to be back onstage after a departure into film-making, where she wrote and directed, A Summer Song, an independently produced film currently in post-production. She has several plays and musicals under her belt, including Sweet Charity, The Mousetrap, The Odd Couple (female version) and most recently, The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told at The Rising Action Theatre in Fort Lauderdale. Martica serves on the board for the Main Street Players Theatre in Miami Lakes, teaches theatre arts for M-DCPS, and continues to act and write for film. She is delighted to perform in Monologus Lingus, and looks forward to performing in many more productions with her directors and fellow cast mates.
WENDY WHITE (Playwright, Director) Wendy is delighted and honored to continue with the exciting
collaboration with the Krane Theatre Company and is eternally grateful to the Garcia sisters, Vanessa
and Nicole, for their inspirational creative effervescence which resulted in this exciting production of Monologus Lingus. Born in Rockaway Beach, New York, Wendys palette and writings are strongly influenced by her early environment of living by the sea. Her father was a painter and while she was growing up, she and her twin brother would frequently model for him as he painted. During her teen years, her father became blind, and she became her fathers eyes. She received a full academic scholarship to Barnard College of Columbia University where she fulfilled her medical school requirements hoping to find a cure for her fathers blindness. Her father regained his vision in one eye during her sophomore year at the same time she was studying painting with her mentor at Barnard, the abstract expressionist painter, Milton Resnick. Due to Miltons continual inspiration and encouragement she rediscovered the light from her childhood, and began fully developing her abstract impressionist style paramount in her work today. Since graduating from Barnard in 1981, Ms. White had exhibitions in galleries in New York City, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Finland, Buenos Aires and Switzerland. Wendy has written over 120 one-act plays and was a resident playwright, curator and director at the Kraine Theater from 1984 to 1992, and at the Expanded Arts Theater Company from 1994 to 2001, in the Lower East Side of New York City. Her off-Broadway productions are the base for her new venue at the New Light Studio in Lauderdale by the Sea. She is proud to present her dream of the New Light Foundation, Inc. in which she and her husband Roland Ruocco founded in 2000 New Light donates a percentage of its art sales and theater ticket sales to its scholarship fund, with the goal to help a young person go to college regardless of their financial circumstances. Wendy continues to foster her dream of international cultural exchanges in order to create a universal bridge of peace between all the countries of the world.
