"As we kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m honored to collaborate with FTA on this production and for the opportunity to work with such a talented and diverse cast and crew,” said director Cherry Gonzalez. “I worked in the performing arts for years before I had the opportunity to work with my first POC director, so I feel grateful to have the chance to hopefully inspire others that if they’re not seeing representation behind the table, to start putting themselves there.”
