Hola bienvenidos to another episode of El Podcast de el Profe Palacios. I am your host, El Profe Palacios. Today, I have the honor to sit down with the one and only Carlos-Manuel. He is an accomplished playwright, director, and professor at Contra Costa College. In our plática we talk about his childhood, his family’s migration story, the teachers who shaped his path, and how he became the chingón teatrista that he is. Carlos Manuel opens up about his identity as a gay immigrant from Mexico, and about the power of representation and theater.

Toward the end of our plática, Carlos Manuel also talks about his upcoming projects, including a play he wrote and will be directing this fall about the life of Frida Kahlo, Viva la Vida. His story is one of resilience and determination, He tells his story with humor, and I’m so excited for you to hear it.
