  • Alexander Perez: Miss Treatment

    The best gamblers know when to cash in their chips and cut their losses, Ginny's no different. Smith's exploration of suicide is pragmatic and earnest. Does it get any better than this? Do I even want to find out?

  • Alexander Perez: ÁNGEL Y CHUPI (The Reinvented Queer Tale of the Puerto Rican Chupacabra)

    What begins as a divinely oddball comedy evolves effortlessly into a manic meditation on loss, love, self-worth, and redemption.

    A play that takes tender care in exploring the full spectrum of it’s character’s experiences and motivations. Painful revelations are expertly disguised behind playful yet earnest dialogue that shines. This grounds the multi-dimensional odyssey in a collective truth which comforts as deeply as it cuts.

    Gonzalez y Perez has packed a universe into 66 pages that challenges the audience to face growth and accountability with an open heart. Those who don't will face...

  • Alexander Perez: AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES

    Holy moly. Not an inch of page is wasted here. Malakhow's brutal examination of identity and respectability politics reinforces their sheer mastery of the craft. I can't say anything anyone else hasn't said, just contributing to the chorus singing the praises of this fantastic play.

  • Alexander Perez: Paletas de Coco or, The Letter Unspoken or, The Christmas Eve Play

    A deeply moving journey through Gonzalez's life experience that depicts healing from trauma in an honest, direct, and caring manner. A necessary reckoning for fathers everywhere.

  • Alexander Perez: The Archive

    A sweet but firm comedy that pulls no punches when the going gets tough. A stellar meditation on personal boundaries, growth, and the capital-W Work that goes into a successful long term relationship. Espinosa regards her characters with tender sympathy in their worst moments but doesn't spare them the rod when they step out of line. A breath of fresh air for the genre.

  • Alexander Perez: Miss Direction

    Smith sets the stage for a sisterly snipe session only to flip the tables (or canvas) revealing the multitudes hidden behind each petty art critique. A clever piece about mental illness that eschews traditional structure in favor of poetic weight and is all the better for it.

  • Alexander Perez: All Things Considered, It Was Probably the Most Productive Meeting The Escondido Unified School District PTA Ever Had

    An absolute scream riot that stands at the top of the class of the burgeoning genre of COVID plays and that is thanks to Ditty's ability to let the pandemic take a backseat to the very human collateral problems that are popping up like acne in the isolation age. A high definition snapshot of a very specific moment in our history that I believe has the potential to endure the test of time.

  • Alexander Perez: Untethered

    Klass explores the instability of one's identity after long term relationships end. When the rose tinted glass is removed and the rest of the colors start rushing in, the truth is revealed and it is a marvel to behold. There is always love to find if you're willing to accept it, most importantly from yourself.

  • Alexander Perez: Weird Rabbit's Foot

    A lightning speed analysis of personal boundaries, where we place value, and how much humanity we're willing to compromise in the name of carnal gratification..

    Seriously though, let's look at that picture again.

  • Alexander Perez: WHEN THE EARTH MOVES, WE DANCE

    A vibrant, mythic adventure featuring a pantheon of Puerto Rican gods and folk heroes fighting for survival as their island dies beneath their feet and foreign influences seek to eradicate what remains of their culture. A beautiful love letter and a ray of light in the darkest of hours.
