Cha the Wordsmith
I write in resonances and in communion. I write with love and humor and violence and intimacy.
I write from listening deeply to history and experience. I write to dance and sing and pray and play.

After two application rounds and an interview, I was honored to have been selected for the Come to the Table residency at SPACE on Ryder Farm to work on my one-woman show and collaborate with fellow theatre professionals on the future of the American theater. Unfortunately, this legendary residency has been forced to close for budgetary reasons. I can only hope they'll be back and supporting artists and visionaries again very soon.
I'm in conversations with some lovely collaborators about my queer, Latine, theatrical excavation of the character Andromache called Like to the Gods.
My second full-length play, Fire Burn Them, was a finalist for the Roundabout @ Columbia New Play Reading Series.
