  • Andrew Rincon: MISFIT, AMERICA

    Big, sprawling, and epic, this play is amazing. It’s incredible to have a play that’s a LATINOS western, there’s so much magic and storytelling that’s unique to latinidad, and while he creates such a big world, the characters never feel overshadowed. They live, struggle and bleed for us. A director/designers dream.

  • Andrew Rincon: The Diplomats

    Saw a production of this show. Nelson has the dialogue chops of a tv writer, while still leaving in such a theatrical world. This play does such a good job of marrying politics with millennial identity. Funny and upsetting all at once. Especially good for college age/young 20’s actors.

  • Andrew Rincon: Torera

    This play lives, Monet creates a stunning portrayal of a young Latina wrestling with the machista world around her. She creates a world that is cinematic but still so theatrical. You really feel like you live next to Elena and Tanok. This play is also a director’s dream, with the beautiful sequences of bull fighting.

  • Andrew Rincon: Blood Memory

    This play is funny, quirky and painful in the best way. The way Becca captures her own journey in reconciling herself with the trauma of her family’s life is breathtaking. I still have a line from the show that I hear over and over. Especially great for a comedic Jewish actress.

  • Andrew Rincon: El Coquí Espectacular and the Bottle of Doom

    A Latino nerds dream. Such a fun and smart play that uses a love of superheroes with the struggle of owning one’s self as a Latino. Theatrical, a designers dream too.

  • Andrew Rincon: Sucking On Cucumbers

    So hysterical, and it's so refreshing to see a play about female sexuality that is crafted by a female playwright. Authentic, funny as hell.

  • Andrew Rincon: A Shero's Journey or What Anacaona and Yemayá Taught Me...

    Epic doesn't even begin to describe this play. It's otherworldly, it's a spiritual journey that takes us through a young Black Latina's journey as a young womyn. This play makes you want to cry, makes you want to think, while you trace your own past and shake your ass. Del Carmen is an unbelievable talent who is unflinching in asking the hard questions about anti blackness within Latinidad.

  • Andrew Rincon: Meet Murasaki Shikibu Followed by Book-Signing, and Other Things

    Izumi crafts such a unique, quirky world. While the play makes me loud out loud (and hard), there are such beautiful moments that tear at the heart. The play poses such an important question - who's work are we remembering and why? I can't recommend the play enough.

  • Andrew Rincon: The New Galileos

    I think this is one of the few plays that had me at the edge of my seat, where I gasped out loud, and this was just a reading that I saw mind you. Amy wrote such a timely, political thriller. She makes me think and strikes fear in my heart. I'm not only afraid for these three characters that are written so eloquently, but I'm afraid because Berryman really creates a not too distant future that feels almost inevitable.

  • Andrew Rincon: #NewSlaves

    I don't know if anyone can measure up to the swagger that Keelay brings to his writing. While the play is certainly a fantasia, it's still so grounded in characters that are flesh and blood. It's ferocious, smart, and it's forcing it's audience to confront how we all contribute to the structures that contain to oppress black Americans. Adore this play.
