The Wayward Voices Workshop Reading Of DE LA LUNA, DEL SOL

Wayward Voices will close out the inaugural season with "De la Luna, Del Sol" by Daniel Andres Blanco. A passionate actor, director, and screenwriter, Blanco partners with Wayward Voices to workshop his screenplay for the stage. "De la Luna, Del Sol" follows introvert Emiliano De la Luna through his struggles coping with life after a traumatic breakup.

While healing, Emiliano meets Elena Del Sol online who offers him a promising future. His thoughts continue to dwell on the past and he soon realizes the world has moved on without him. Loosely inspired by Jose Rivera's "Cloud Tectonics", the workshop reading of "De la Luna, Del Sol" opens on November 5, 2021.
