←Recommendations of Can You Dance the Merengue?

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.

A classic girl meets girl moment. I adored this play. A look into a moment between two college-aged lesbians. One very sure of herself and one who is just trying to figure everything out. Loved the small details like it being chess night and the shitty processed pumpkin pie. Loved that this is a play about two Latinas that don't fall into stereotypes. These are fully fleshed characters that you can't help but fall in love with. Things move fast in this short play but it always feels very believable.
