So happy to share this new piece I wrote with Isel Rodriguez for American Theatre magazine and Theatre Communications Group as TCG prepares to host its 2026 National Conference here in San Juan this June.

“Puerto Rico: A Scene of Its Own”

It was a joy to speak with my brilliant and talented friend about the vitality, ingenuity, and strength of Puerto Rico's theater community.

So proud to help shine a light on this vibrant scene.
