Plays

  • Holy Virgins
    western kentucky, 2012. sam, marina and jesse are about to be confirmed catholics, licensed drivers, and suspended from immaculate conception high school for a satanic prank or the vatican decree against communism, depending on who you ask. a sour-sweet dark comedy about queer girlhood, forgiving your mom, and what to believe.
  • The Best Day
    a filipino mom + her daughter's college orientation + the 1989 world tour = an unwelcome, expensive surprise.
  • NON SO PIÙ COSA SON
    NON SO PIÙ is a dialectical chamber play with music weaving together the church basement voice lessons of 17-year-old soprano Maria with the imagined lives of the Philippines’ first opera singer and a Soviet-Korean poet in exile. On diaspora, dysphoria, and the making of cultural capital. Briefly known as "untitled fuck Rivers Cuomo play."
