SKIN by Anamaria Guerzon
Zora is a young, non-binary Filipino artist, aspiring to make their way in the Seattle Tattoo industry. When they find a mentor in Judy, Zora enters the world of tattoo, finding the art form's deep ties to Filipino culture. Judy teaches Zora how to navigate the tense environment of the white-dominated tattoo industry, while pressures intensify thanks to Carl, the authoritarian shop owner. As the painful history of Filipino colonization begins to crash into the present, Zora finds themself caught at the convergence point of tattoo now and they are discovering what it means to live in a marginalized body.
Sober Play by Nattalyee Randall
Roberta has a hard choice to make. Her past is literally haunting her and making her rethink the decision of getting sober from alcohol. As she tries to find the strength to not pick up a drink, her deep dark memories come out to play and make the choice very hard.
Crayon Sun by Tlaloc Rivas
Crayon Sun is an elegy based on recent tragedy at Uvalde, TX. We are introduced to two child protagonists, Valoria and Mando, who engage in a playful, banter until their childhood innocence collide with the inexplicable horrors of adult reality. Centered around the elusive question, "Why is this happening?” the play grants its young characters the complex freedom to simply be children, creating a stark, emotional juxtaposition that captivates and challenges both our minds and our hearts. (Every Character is Latine but the Figure)
Inseparable: The Vignettes by Amari Mae Shakir
Childhood best friends Alex and Xavier grow up to live in a house together. After an eventful night on the roof, their friendship expands and through a series of snapshots and or "vignettes" of their life together we begin to see how this complicated friendship has now led to a lifelong romance.
