    Playwright Dillon Yruegas offers us a seat at the brunch table with a group of twenty-something queer friends of color in this fascinating short. Yruegas' characters are lively, charming and unapologetic about their goals and dreams. There's an interesting section where Q, an aspiring influencer, offers a theory about the magical motivations of Elsa from Disney's "Frozen". A short exchange between the lovesick Erik and the sweet, supportive Flor made me smile. I'd love to see this performed.
