Photo Flash: First Look at WAITING FOR THE SUBWAY at MicroTheater
by Stephi Wild - Dec 10, 2019
On its world premiere this past November Waiting for the Subway, written-performed by Sonia Mera and directed by Andrea Velasco, received audiences and critics acclaim during its twelve performances as part of MicroTheater Festival organized by Teatro Sea. This one woman play, staged with canny simplicity by Velasco, is performed on a bare stage with just a single yellow line on the floor and three led lights. From that austere setting, using prerecorded dialogue and sound effects, Mera delivers a moving performance, taking us on a journey where Magdalena acts as a conscience for all the souls that roam the station burdened by the weight of their lives while she waits for a train that does not seem to be coming any time soon.

THE TRAPPED LANGUAGE OF LOVE to Play the Producers Club
by Julie Musbach - May 21, 2019
Written by Ronan Colfer, 'The Trapped Language of Love' is a satire and an attempt to capture the true feelings underneath those who we find ourselves attracted to, both physically and emotionally. The two individuals, simply named HE and SHE, fall madly in love with each other at first sight but are then trapped by the emptiness of their everyday language.
