Gracias Mami, Papi y Steven por siempre apoyarme y anclarme. Thank you to my lovely cast who is a gift to work with, my diligent amazing agents at BLOC, my Queer Latinx ancestors, Victoria Espinosa for instilling a theatrical love at first sight, Joseph Aguayo for believing in me when no one else did, the village that holds me together, and you for showing up and supporting this ball henny!”
