Huge congratulations to Daphnie Sicre on her landmark new HowlRound piece, "The State of Latine and Caribbean Musical Theatre Today"! 🎭✨
Stop what you're doing and read this essential piece on the future of American theatre 📖👇

From hybrid soundscapes to community-building fellowships, Daphnie maps out an undeniable truth: Latine & Caribbean musical theatre isn't just "emerging." It’s a deeply rooted, powerhouse field reshaping the entire theatrical landscape.
Adapting a masterpiece takes a master storyteller. Severo Pérez wrote and directed "...And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him" (1994), bringing Tomás Rivera’s seminal novel about farmworker life vividly to light.
