[1] From a young age, she was exposed to arts through her parents, who took her to theater productions, as well as her aunt, who wrote poetry and taught literature.
[2] In middle school, Rolón's family moved to San Juan, and by 9th grade she was active in theater and dance classes.
[2] She devoted increasingly more time to theater, taking classes and auditioning, and found a part-time job with the Association of Hispanic Arts (AHA).
In her mid 20s, Rolón landed a number of roles with Latino theaters in New York, including Porton and Thalia, and was doing voiceovers on the side.
She, along with Luis Meléndez and David Crommett, began to work seriously to produce the play collection, or La Colleción, that they had created.
By that time, they had been working with a number of Bronx organizations for more than a year, and when given the opportunity to use an office space there they jumped at the chance to settle down.
[4] During the 1990s, the company grew and began many outreach programs, including the Visiting Artists Series, the Pregones Summer Stage, and curriculum development sessions, as well as collaborations with other theaters throughout NYC and around the world.
[2] Pregones Theater Company has performed in over 400 cities in 13 different countries,[5] although their main focus is the Tri-State area, and they have nearly 70 premiers to their credit.
[7] In 2016, Pregones completed a merger with the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater (PRTT) in order to expand the reach of both of their programming.
Since the early 2000s, the two theaters have done many collaborations and co-productions, and Rolón worked extensively with the founder and director of PRTT, Miriam Colón.
