James Meneses is a Chilean Chinese playwright who delves into the worlds of magic realism, like in his science fiction musical HERE IS GONE, about an authoritarian state where dreaming is against the law, and his play DREAM FRAGMENTATION about a son reconnecting with his recently deceased father through a series of fragmented dreams, attempting to reconcile their past before a tsunami wave reaches them. His characters represent the voiceless and the outcast like in SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND OPEN YOUR EYES about a Kicker bound to be the first female professional football player, while struggling to adapt to playing the parental role for her autistic sister. His plays CROSS FROM ROME, DREAM FRAGMENTATION, and WHILE YOU WAIT have been produced in NYC by the Greenhouse Ensemble. He has performed on stage in SUNSHINE QUEST at the Wild Project and 44TH AND 9TH written by Christy Hall ( I am Not Okay with This), and has acted alongside Judith Roberts (Orange is the New Black) in the comedy short film, REUNION
