Current & Previous Work

Hamlet El Principe de Denmark
In this Spanish-English adaptation, Moses places the action during the Indigenous Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos. As in Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet must decide whether to revenge his father’s death. But with the added layer of language, Hamlet now also struggles with questions of how to preserve his culture while a new regime attempts to erase it.
Extreme Home Makeover
Extreme Home Makeover by Makasha Copeland paints a human portrait of a contemporary Tejano family willing to go to the extreme for a spot on the popular, rags-to-riches TV show of the same name. Following the Vega family who must fight to make their video application stand out, this earnest satire explores family dynamics in the face of financial hardship. Extreme Home Makeover is a beautifully complex, bold, funny, and hopeful story about a family striving for the American dream and begs the question – in a world where so many receive so little, how much do miracles cost?
