Hello Facebook Fam! I'd like to invite you to my solo show, 'The Mask I Wear'. I'll be performing at Portland State University. The place where it all started. It feels like it was just yesterday walking through those halls. (Not really...but I hear that's what nostalgic people say.)The Mask I Wear is a powerful solo performance that follows a Latino actor caught in the endless cycle of auditions, typecasting, and cultural expectation across theatre, film, and television. Set in the familiar purgatory of a casting office waiting room, Actor J confronts the voices that shape—and limit—his career: Johnny H, a version of success built on compromise and stereotype, and J-Boy, a fearless Southwestern artist who refuses to shrink himself to fit the industry’s imagination.
Blending sharp humor with raw honesty, the show interrogates why Latino performers are rarely considered for complex leading roles, and why the stories of their communities are dismissed as unfamiliar or niche.
The Mask I Wear is both an internal reckoning and a public challenge—an exploration of identity, representation, and the cost of belonging in an industry that still struggles to see the full American story.

My team and I have been working on some new, creative ways to tackle my story. It's been an honor working with all of them and I hope you can make it. You are the final piece we've been waiting for.
