A funny, engaging, alternately charming and challenging play (in the best sense of that word) about the pitfalls and rewards of communication, and the importance of seeing past surfaces to connect with our shared humanity. These characters have stayed alive for me ever since I read Ortiz's remarkable, deceptively non-complicated play (it's so much more complex that it at first appears), and I look forward to seeing them come alive sometime in a fully staged production.

I love this play. Young Money explores the complexities of money and privilege without ever feeling heavy-handed. Instead, Erlina reveals the humanity shared by two characters from very different generations. It is a funny, smart, and very produceable play featuring strong roles for Latinx and Afro-Latinx women.
