Let's get this straight - a young, Latina, lesbian scholar enters a Club on Latina Lesbian Chess Night holding a pie. From that moment this weird meet/cute runs headlong into funny self discovery and a wonderful improbable relationship, Cori Diaz keeps us intrigued and fascinated. Very nice.

An adorable and hysterical self-discovery journey disguised as a meet cute. I want to be friends with these characters and I can’t play chess or dance! Also as a member of the queer femme scene in SF, I can confirm that this piece exactly captures how weird and niche it feels. Loved this!

Can You Dance the Merengue? is a charming and relatable exploration of a fleeting yet impactful connection between two women at a lively event. With witty dialogue, rich character development, and no reliance on stereotypes, this play beautifully captures the uncertainty and excitement of young love.
