Last night’s performance of Translating Sonnets was fire! 🔥

What made the evening so special wasn’t just revisiting Shakespeare. It was watching his words spark conversations across four centuries through an extraordinary group of actors and poets.

It was an honor to share the stage with artists I’ve admired for decades, like @regieguy, while also discovering so many gifted new voices. That’s one of the greatest joys of being part of the literary community: honoring those who paved the way while celebrating the next generation.

I’ll admit, I was never much of a Shakespeare fan. But this project showed me how alive his work can become when placed in dialogue with the present.

Endless thanks to Modesto “Flako” Jimenez, Thomas Fucaloro, Cynthia Rodriguez, ¡Oye! Group, Creating Space, my brilliant scene partner Paola Alexandra Soto, the entire cast and crew, and everyone who filled the theater. The audience’s energy made the night unforgettable.

Here are a few moments from backstage and after the show. Grateful for the collaborations and the community. Here’s to many more.
