| On March 13, J. Antonio Rodriguez performed his last show in the Hadestown tour as Orpheus, a production he’s been a part of since 2022. But this was no standard departure. The longtime actor didn’t want to leave; he was forced to. Rodriguez is a Dreamer, a person who immigrated to America when they were very young; because they have no way to become a citizen, they remain undocumented. Through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Rodriguez was protected from deportation and has been able to work and pursue his dreams of being an actor. But due to a mountain of bureaucratic delays, Rodriguez’s career is now in jeopardy and he is no longer legally able to perform. |
