The Hispanic/Latino/Latinx/Latine Vote
by Bernardo Cubria
directed by Carlos Medina Maldonado
March 12 – 29, 2026 performances
Meet Dr. Paola Aguilar, a Latinx Studies professor and aspiring mother drowning in IVF debt. When she accepts a lucrative offer from “The Political Party” to help them decode the allusive Latino vote, she quickly realizes her new colleagues do not understand that millions of people from diverse backgrounds can’t be understood (or won over) by a single strategy. This heartfelt, laugh-out-loud roller coaster will resonate with anyone who’s ever been mansplained to.
Role Breakdown
• Paola Aguilar (Late 30’s Mexican)
A Doctor of Latinx Studies who teaches at a local college. She wants to be a mom but life hasn’t made that available yet. Hyper intelligent and empathetic to a fault.
• Nicola Ramirez (30’s, White with a Cuban father)
A not so closet nerd. She is more neurotic than you could ever imagine. Has yet to come out as Latina.
• Bernard Robinson (30’s, Black)
Grew up with money in Texas. Went to SMU. Has far too often been someone’s “black friend.” He is obsessed with early Garth Brooks. Wants to be president one day.
• Rebecca Feldman (late 20’s, Jew-“ish”)
Grew up in New York City. Speaks Spanish fluently. Fancies herself a human right’s activist AND a centrist. She is so proud to call herself an “ally.”
• Kaj Lutken (30’s, White)
The kind of person who didn’t get that Wolf of Wall Street was a satire. Is hyper concerned with cancel culture & is currently working on a Op-Ed about the whole thing. He is the epitome of ambition.
• Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/
This actor will play various people throughout the play. They and we are not a monolith. Acts out various examples of a diaspora. Clowning experience helpful. But legit they can be any age, gender, whatever.
