←Recommendations of HOMERIDAE

A truly engrossing from beginning to end ride. I can't wait to see this funny and important show in production!

HOMERIDAE examines contemporary university structures that students from marginalized communities must navigate. It is a play that discusses issues that are timely and important but is also wildly funny. The play uses technology in such an innovative and extremely theatrical way. Amazing dialogue and characters that are vividly drawn and deeply moving. The play is also written using inventive devices that demonstrate Zandra’s mastery of rhythm, pacing and dramatic beats. I love this play!

So much to love about this play. Espinoza explores the cost of intellectual and philosophical passions versus the desire for love, acceptance, and basic living needs. She challenges her audience to look at the present and the past in a truthful and authentic way. Original and ingenious.

A magical and moving play that explores the themes of race in the academic setting. A play reminds us how resistant people are to new ideas about classical history. Especially when those new ideas challenge white supremacy. Espinoza brilliantly crafts a work of fantasy that is so rooted in the real world and the honesty of these characters. This is a play filled with big ideas that need to be thought about and discussed.

A triumphant exploration of contemporary collegiate and race relations. Espinoza uses her skill and wit to craft a magical world that illuminates the social and political issues of today. HOMERIDAE employs ancient myths, contemporary technology, modern politics, and magical realism to weave a tale that you'll be thinking about long after the final line.
