This collection by award-winning playwright Oliver Mayer, assistant professor of dramatic writing at the USC School of Theatre, features three plays that explore history, music and identity. With a preface by playwright-performer Luis Alfaro and an introduction by scholar Jon D. Rossini, this collection offers a significant contribution to the growing body of U.S. Latino dramatic writing in the Americas. Jon Lawrence Rivera, artistic director of the Playwrights Arena Theatre in Los Angeles writes, “Oliver Mayer is one of those rare playwrights in the American theatre - lyrical, poetic, fearless. His plays penetrate deep inside your soul.”
