Chris’s original play “#daddy” won the top honor at The Hispanic Federation’s Queer Arts Festival: FuerzaFest.

The play takes place in a New York City apartment, a gay father and his Queer son navigate the ups and downs of living under the same roof. For an LGBTQ+ kid raised in a conservative world, having a Queer parent feels like a dream come true… until cultural and generational tensions spark unexpected friction.

Highlighting the play’s originality, sharp wit, and heartfulness, the awarding committee of FuerzaFest decided to award #daddy as the “Best Play” of the festival.
