    Absolutely loved this play when I caught a reading at San Diego Rep. This play serves a laugh a minute as it examines the life-long effects of having a narcissistic mother and how it affects the relationships around you. I was not ready for the amount of Latinx JOY captured within these complex and hilarious characters. I highly recommend it.

    I had the privilege of seeing the workshop of this at the BPT. Alexis Scheer has created delightfully specific and nuanced characters who aren't normally centered in lighthearted comic fare. Each character's intentions and actions were well thought out and motivated by potent tensions and conflicts, and it was an absolute pleasure to see the at times surprising story unfold throughout the evening. I hope to see this play continued to be developed and produced!

    I had the pleasure of seeing Laughs in Spanish at San Diego Rep’s Latinx New Play Festival. The play certainly delivered on its title. The audience and I were audibly laughing throughout the reading. But the play was not without heart. I genuinely cared for every single character on stage. The mother/daughter relationship in particular moved me to tears. I can see this play being a commercial and critical success in theatres all over the country and I hope to see a full production of it soon.
