“ AU where gender's slimy hands tightened their grip on the world. A speculative horror chock full of fun teenage angst, cause for screaming in rage, and secret stapled manuscripts of Virginia Woolf and José Esteban Muñoz. Looking forward to seeing how this piece builds from this glimpse. ”

“ With thunder, steaminess, generational curses, dance numbers, magic, the Devil himself, and a group of tired college students, Culture Night defies the concept of a cultural monolith for Filipinx Americans. The characters rage and try their best to honor their lineages/histories while also planting their own roots for what their identity means to them. A play about a culture night that is a culture night in and of itself. A bop and a half! ”

“ "An Alt-Masc Comedy" could not be a better subtitle here. John tackles one of the things that the queer community has in common: a complicated relationship with masculinity. Should we embrace it? Shun it? Fear it? Don't look at it until it goes away? Each character has a different approach, leading to misunderstandings, misaligned gay-teen yearning, general hijinks you would want to see in a Summer camp comedy, and a real reckoning with stereotypes. No one is left unscathed (but also, no heart left untouched <3). In particular, the friendship between Mikey and Darnell warmed my heart. ”
