←Recommendations of Lucía Fuentes

Usually when there is a man seeking atonement for hitting a woman I say eff that guy, but I've never encountered a play around this topic where I was so drawn in like LUCIA FUENTES. I cared about his path. I was compelled by his journey. I genuinely wanted him to find that forgiveness. This is a gorgeous play with richly drawn characters and a script that's a director's dream.

As Co‐Founder and Artistic Director for PlayGround, a leading playwright incubator and theatre community hub, I wholeheartedly recommend J. Lynn Jackson's Lucía Fuentes. PlayGround selected Lucía Fuentes as one of three plays for our inaugural Free-Play Festival. The dramatized reading of the play had the festival’s best attendance and ticket sales.

"From the very first page, I was swept away by J. Lynn Jackson's epic adventure, Lucia Fuentes. Hernan, our intrepid protagonist and his journey into a realm where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, reminded me that each of us carries within us the potential for heroic journeys and personal growth."

The community of National Committee readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced LUCIA FUENTES as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We were intrigued by the premise and the interaction and intersection of characters. We appreciated the journey of the play and the promise of learning something new. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production. #BAPF46
