In my case, I’ve found being in marketing meetings, casting meetings, and play selection meetings helpful.
Luis: That’s another thing that’s so beautiful about the residency-the relationships formed and where they can lead. My play Bad Hombres/Good Wives, which San Diego Rep is going to produce in October, was not part of the first selection six months ago, but two other plays fell through, so I said, “You guys want a Latinx comedy?

That there are all these pieces they have to fit together. And then there’s work they want that’s not available. People might love it, but maybe the timing’s not right or the cast’s too large.

Intrepid first-time director Alexis Clements takes us on a far-flung journey through American herstory and resilience. Whether at Alibi’s Club in Oklahoma City or WOW Café Theatre in our own New York City, queer women are tirelessly making room for one another on barstools, stages, and activism’s front lines. As concern grows over the death and dearth of these essential social hubs, this documentary takes inventory of those that continue to thrive across the country, inciting a powerful conversation about the importance of community. Since 2010, over 100 queer women’s spaces-from dive bars to bookstores and dance halls to health centers-have shuttered across the United States. NOTE this is not located at WOW Cafe TheaterĢ08 West 13th Street (between 7th and 8th Avenues) The Encore screening of a documentary on queer women’s spaces, including WOW Cafe Theater!
