About The Playwright
Note From The Playwright:
Nine years ago, the very first performances of Luchadora! happened on a south-side college campus in San Antonio. It was a small workshop production in preparation for the world premiere in Milwaukee. Since then, Luchadora! has body-slammed audiences in St. Louis, Mexico City, Chicago, Austin, Houston, Orlando, and many small towns in between. I'm excited to see my play return to San Antonio. It's not the same play from 9 years ago. It's better. And I will always be grateful to the San Antonio community for helping me shape Luchadora! into what it is today.
