Loved this play. The motif of water was so powerful. Need to see this fully produced. ”

La Sirena is a theatrical, hopeful play that shows the range in which abusers may respond when held accountable for their behavior. The redemptive aspects in the story feel especially rare in theatre at a time when it's desperately needed. Trinidad shows what it looks like to fail and succeed at being an ally and gives us an example of repentance that feels truthful and could serve as a model for people called out for doing harm in our industry (and in any industry). ”

Trinidad’s play revolves around the close friendship of Thelxi and Chim, and the diner where they work. The place is lorded over by two white men, the owner, Tanner, and the busboy/waiter Wyatt. It is also about art, and sexual assault, about workplace harrassment, and the uses of a sincere apology. It holds a powerful lesson and one I highly recommend. ”
