Galatea is a queer fantasia about love at the end of the world. Loosely based on John Lyly’s 1585 play, Galatea is a trans love story set in a forest featuring greek gods, poetry, and lesbian separatist nymphs. Two young people disguise themselves to escape virgin sacrifice and hide in the woods where they meet and fall in love.

Gracia is a Chicana writer and DREAMer. In order to draw attention to her work but not her undocumented status, Gracia convinces her white and US-born best friend Mariza to perform her poetry. When Gracia's words launch Mariza into gaining a following as a Latinx artist and activist, their friendship is tested by issues of privilege and cultural appropriation. Part play, part poetry slam, "Brown Face" follows a group of college students as they navigate their identities in the competitive world of spoken word poetry.
