If Ferrer is the Latino stage acting legend, then panameño Quintero is his behind-the-scenes counterpart, who was honored with a theater named in his honor. The director and producer specialized in Eugene O’Neill plays and won both his Tony’s directing or producing the playwright’s work. He is considered the founder of off-Broadway productions, having started the Circle in the Square Theater.
