THE LAMBS OF THE BRONX

For the past three years, Maker’s Ensemble has worked to make SPF as open and accessible as possible for emerging playwrights. This year, they’re turning up the heat with a soft theme — SPF now stands for HOT new plays! Whether it’s fiery takes, comedic explosions, emotional intensity, or spicy plot twists, they’re looking for plays that bring the heat. If you're interested, check out the Maker’s Ensemble Instagram page and website for more details.

Early 2025 I was privileged to direct The Lambs of the Bronx written by Angela Reynoso, featuring Diana Olivares, Wilson Hernandez and Georgina Morillo.

The Lambs of the Bronx is about two estranged fraternal twins from the Bronx, sharp-witted and feisty Renata and hot-headed and impulsive Casimiro, are chosen by a vaudevillian humor filled bounty-hunter named Chilo, for the world-renowned 100th annual sacrifice ritual, which guarantees the survival of all humankind. Which of the twins will prove their life worthy, or unworthy, before Chilo and the audience makes a choice?
