  • David Davila: Sum of My Blood

    Nicky Rubiano is maybe the greatest character in any unpublished or unproduced play out there right now. He deals in power, absolutely. I might be obsessed with him. Sum of My Blood is a chilling investigation of the generational differences between young gay men and the older gay men who survived the AIDS epidemic. It's got all the camp and hilarity that one would expect from a jaded aging homosexual, with all of the thrilling horror that you expect from Jeremy King.

  • David Davila: A Series of Inelastic Collisions

    A deep and thoughtful take on the state of civility in the United States in the post-Trump era, and an intimate look at the role that parenting plays in the political ideals of children. I was deeply moved by Rain and her family, both biological and adopted, and moved to tears by their small gestures of love for each other. A very moving piece that demands a production immediately... is Diane Weist available?

  • David Davila: The Forgotten Language of the Handshake or The Torso Play

    WOW. I'm completely blown away by this play. This play takes the ideals of a capitalistic world and advances them to their natural conclusion. It's a profound tale that examines the American Dream through the lens of feudalism as we fall in love with these desperate characters who must choose between their ideals and survival... because what could be more capitalistic than that? I am completely and utterly astonished. Bravo!

  • David Davila: WHEN THE EARTH MOVES, WE DANCE

    This might be my favorite play by Nelson Diaz-Marcano which is saying A LOT considering how profound and prolific he is. The mythology and folk characters of Puerto Rico come to life in this epic action-adventure, where a group of modern teens must find a lost Taino Goddess in order fulfill a prophecy and save Puerto Rico from destruction! It's "the Goonies" meets Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" smashed together with boriqueña hilarity that should not only be produced, but turned into YA novels, TV series, musicals, and movies! THIS IS THE REAL THING Y'ALL!!!! #TainoUniverse - Watch out MCU!

  • David Davila: Here Everything's Better

    a HILARIOUS and poignant look at gun violence that takes place in every Texan's favorite place on the planet, H-E-B.

  • David Davila: Count by Twos

    An eye opening dissection of endemic negligence of school administrators in handling issues of gender in the post "no child left behind" era. Billies soliloquy lessons in mathematics strengthen the human issues at the heart of this play and illustrate just how easy it is to leave a child behind when education is but a political act.

  • David Davila: A Skeptic and a Bruja

    This play is TRULY frightening. Though set as a horror story, do not be fooled. This is actually a compelling philosophical debate about the effects of colonization on indigenous & mestizaje spirituality and a complex study of our complicity in victim blaming. And yes... it's also scary as f**k!!!! If I was terrified in a reading, I can only imagine how scary this play will become with music, lights, and sound. I highly recommend.

  • David Davila: L'HÔTEL

    Holy smokes! This play is amazing! I immediately fell in love with Eileen, her Cuban mother, and their complicated relationship which plays out on a doomed girls trip to Paris. I was not ready for the first shocking twist, OR the second shocking twist, and I was not emotionally prepared for the reveal of their dark secrets. This is an epic, emotional, rollercoaster ride, that forces audiences to look closer at their generational traumas caused by religion, society, and family. With three characters and one location it's the PERFECT play to produce! Bravo!

  • David Davila: Laughs in Spanish

    Absolutely loved this play when I caught a reading at San Diego Rep. This play serves a laugh a minute as it examines the life-long effects of having a narcissistic mother and how it affects the relationships around you. I was not ready for the amount of Latinx JOY captured within these complex and hilarious characters. I highly recommend it.

  • David Davila: To Saints and Stars

    I was lucky enough to catch a reading of this beautiful and poetic play at San Diego Rep, and I was awestruck at its examination of faith and science as it pertains to our relationships. Can't wait to see this sci-fi marvel brought to life on stage! I highly recommend.
