Stonewall Heart
Written by Lilli Hime Directed by Rafael Murtinho
Performed by Abby Cortinas, Thomas Quintanilla, and Lucia McMahon
Lilli is a senior English Writing and Rhetoric major who hopes to uplift LGBTQ stories through her storytelling. Rafael is a Senior General Theatre Major and Musical Theatre Minor. He directed Andre’s Mother by Terrance McNally for the 14th Annual 10 Minute Play Festival at the MMNT. This piece follows the 10 minutes before their Uber arrives, 24 hours until Dani’s essay is due, and 2 1⁄2 hours until the
deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. yet. The three best friends are arguing how to spend the night - to go party at their favorite club’s Latin night or stay in to help Dani with her big essay.
Thank you to Lilli Hime and Rafael Murtinho for bringing this important story to the stage. Special thank you to Lisa Kirkpatrick who came out to support this dynamic duo and stayed for the rest of the Play Festival, as well as donated a generous amount to Transit Theatre Troupe.
It is because of people like you, that live, student, theatre can continue to happen. We thank you for your contributions and your support.

The Morning After
Written and directed by Gaby Lopez aka Aleida Lopez
Lopez was recently involved with Transit's productions pf Fate Changers: Ep. 4-7. and is the Author of the Devised pieces from Transit's TickTock last year.
The piece performed during New Work Play Festival is part of a larger manuscript for a novel that centers around the struggles of mental disorders. She would like to thank her friends encouraging her in her writing and creation of these characters as well as for pushing her to get her piece on stage.
