A curated collection of new Latinx and Latin American plays, monologues, interviews, and critical essays, this work originally emerged from the Latino Theater Companys Encuentro de las Américas festival, produced in partnership with the Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC) at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in 2017. The collection chronicles not only the theatrical productions of the festival but also features a transnational exploration of U.S. Latinx and Latin American theatre-making. Alongside plays by Evelina Fernández, Alex Alpharaoh, J. Ed Araiza, and Carlos Celdrán, this anthology also includes a mix of monologues, snapshots, profiles, and interviews that together provide a dynamic account of these intersections within U.S. Latinx and Latin American Theater. A unique collection, it serves not only as a testament to the diversity of Latinx artists but also to the strength of the Latinx Theater movement and its ever-growing networks across the Hemispheric Americas. Full playtexts include:

Dementia by Evelina Fernández
WET: A DACAmented Journey by Alex Alpharoah
Miss Julia adapted by J. Ed Araiza
10 Million by Carlos Celdrán
