Playwright Resident 2024–2025

“I’m a playwright currently based in the Boston area, and I hope to begin impacting my community with my art. As a queer BIPOC writer, I didn’t grow up with artists of my experience and now I am passionate about creating the art I was longing for. I’m an interdisciplinary artist, but above all, love writing in all forms, especially for the stage. I’ve just gotten back from studying devising in Italy, at the Accademia dell’Arte, and am returning to Boston full of new ideas, pages, and inspiration.”

Project Statement

“This project will follow the development and process of my new play Llorona, or the Weeping Women. With the space provided, as well as workshops through the BCA, the goal will be to end with a production ready draft of the script. Some goals to make this happen will include a shifting of the ethnicities in one of the main characters, a deep dive into the power of language in the show, and an exploration of the themes surrounding family in the text. Outside of the show itself, I hope to really invest and engage in the blossoming new works community within the city of Boston, specifically the Latino community.”
