    Episode 27 - Linedy Genao, Taylor Iman Jones, Fran Tapia, and Maiga Vidal: Café Con Leche Part 2
    Nov 19 2024
    In this episode, we continue our conversation with Linedy Genao (Bad Cinderella), Taylor Iman Jones (Head Over Heels), Fran Tapia (On Your Feet), and Maiga Vidal about Maiga’s new musical: Café Con Leche. Special Guest Host: Héctor Flores Jr. With book, music, and lyrics by Maiga Vidal, Café Con Leche is an original romantic comedy set in Los Angeles with an all-Latinx cast. The new musical follows Alejandra, an accountant who longs to be the perfect immigrant daughter for her parents, even if it means staying in the closet forever. When a rent hike threatens to close her parent’s American-style donut shop for good, Alejandra, with the help of mysterious new customer Megan, opens Café Con Leche, a Latino-themed coffee spot, to moonlight after-hours at the store to make extra money. As her feelings for Café Con Leche and Megan grow, Alejandra begins to question just how much she’s willing to hide to keep her parent’s love. This episode features the songs “My Turn” performed by Linedy Genao and “Alejandra” performed by Taylor Iman Jones and Linedy Genao.

    In this episode, we continue our conversation with Sean McCabe and Jinhee Kim about their new musical: Saint Sebastian. Saint Sebastian is a queer coming-of-age musical comedy, set on a Christian retreat farm over one Easter weekend. At the heart of the story is the relationship of Sebastian, a sheltered, naïve kid whose parents own the farm, and Jamie, a housing-insecure kid staying at the farm with his single mother. It’s a story about socioeconomic privilege, the awkwardness of adolescence, and queerness in conflict with religious tradition.
