Stars align with Vme to introduce New Shows.

Oscar-nominated, Adriana Barazza, leading telenovella Actress Lorena Rojas, Journalist Marian de la Fuente and Actor and Comedian Orlando Urdaneta will produce new shows in collaboration with Vme’s sister company, Miami-based Plural Entertainment and will air on Vme in the new season.

“Both shows that I’m bringing to Vme are a labor of love,” said journalist, Marian de la Fuente. “When shows highlight some social or inspirational issues in our community in an entertaining way then the best of all things come together in quality television and that is what is happening with both Mujeres con Pantalones and Desaparecidos.”

Lorena Rojas announces her producing debut with Vme and the show Con Adriana Barraza Desde El Acting Studio Una Vida En La Escena  (An Actor’s Life). “As an actress I’ve always pushed myself to do more, be more and try new things with each new project. Now in my first project as a producer I am so proud to have this show pay tribute to the leading actors of today. I also couldn’t be more proud that this production is with my friend and mentor Adriana,” says Lorena.  In this show Lorena works with her friend and mentor, Oscar-nominated actress Adriana Barraza to welcome TV, movie and theater actors, directors, producers and writers into The Adriana Barraza Acting Studio in Miami.
