A NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking this journey into my fun little world of magic – or not-magic – and ghosts – or not-ghosts. It means a lot to me.

Mexicans and Mexican-Americans believe in ghosts. This is true even for those of us who consider ourselves to be educated and rational. We believe at the same time that we don’t believe. In lots of things.

In this play, I tell you that ghosts aren’t real and then I put ghosts on stage in front of you. I show you a psychic performing feats of supernatural power only to cast doubt on those powers later. This might incline you toward expecting to know by the end of the play if ghosts and magic are real in the play. But I hope you will relieve the play of the burden of that expectation of certainty.

This is not a play about certainty. It’s a play about doubt. Or maybe it’s a play about hope. Or maybe doubt and hope are two sides of the same coin. Assuming one’s doubt isn’t just thinly veiled disbelief, doubting one’s belief carries with it an implied hope that the belief is true and that the doubt is misplaced.

The play has plenty of questions, but few answers. I don’t know if any of this is real, but wouldn’t it be amazing if it was?

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR If you’re like me you have been struggling with how to start emails. “Hope this finds you well,” just seems like the dumbest possible thing to say to someone these days. It feels like we are all in a global state of grieving. And at the same time, we are all dealing with it in such wildly diferent ways. It is a delight to get to work on this play in a moment when we are all trying so hard to know what to do. I don’t know what I’m doing at all; like at all. If you ask the cast and crew of the show, they will confirm just that. Luckily, I come from a long line of people who make the most from the least. It is a privilege to work on this show led by a young team of artists that represent the global majority with such intensity and joy. I don’t think this play will give you any clear insight into how to move through these troubled times, but this play may help you not feel alone in that confusion. And I really hope this play finds you well.

A NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT I wrote the first draf of this play in a fit of rage afer reading about the women who facilitated Jefrey Epstein’s abuse of young girls. As I wrote, I incorporated stories from other cases, most notably Harvey Weinstein (who used women as “honey pots” to make other women feel comfortable conducting meetings in his hotel room) and Terry Richardson (whose then-intern-now-wife would allegedly ride home in the cab to talk down a distraught model afer one of his unexpectedly pornographic photo shoots: “We were all just having fun, right?”).

What began as an exercise in black and white—imagining fitting punishment for these women—turned into a meditation on the unnerving grey areas around the violence we inflict on each other and the systems that teach us how to do it.

I thought of the stories I grew up with: Snow White put in a coma by a Queen who is jealous of her beauty; Cinderella tormented by her wicked stepsisters for the attention of the prince; Tamora ordering her sons to “satisfy their lust” on Lavinia in revenge against her father; Medea cursed by Hera to get back at Pelias; Medusa turned into a gorgon by Athena afer being raped by Poseidon.

Women destroying other women for the sake of a man. We’re on our own out there, and to gain favor with the gods, you’ve gotta smash a lot of other maidens.

What would it take to reprogram everything these stories have taught us? If we were successful, could we eradicate the murkiness that allows these tragedies to happen? These questions fueled my writing process.

At the end of every rehearsal, we all stood in a circle and performed a ritual of movements meant to telegraph love and care to each other. Every member of this cast dedicated themselves to fully embodying the stories of these women. We created agreements based on what we needed to feel safe and successful. We laughed, we got angry, we sweated and stretched and supported each other in a night-by-night process of collective reprogramming. And now, you have stepped into the ring with us.

Welcome. Each of us has entered; what stories can we tell when we leave?

A NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT As a child, cartoons were an escape - the rules of the “real world” don’t exist: the cheesy jokes, the lack of consequences, the lack of physics. The characters always learn a lesson; or if they don’t? Wait for the end credits: they’ll have another chance next episode. Growing up I watched animation almost exclusively, finding myself drawn to the zany plots and colorful characters even while noticing that those characters were rarely of color. Where was I represented? What place did I have as a queer Black child amongst the falling anvils and talking rabbits?

Since I began writing I’ve known I wanted to someday explore one of those cartoon worlds as a play – to put those stories and themes on real bodies; furthermore, bodies that looked like mine. What happens when dimension is introduced to those once flat worlds? What changes when four white teenage mystery-solvers are suddenly rendered in color? What if cartoons could be more than an escape? What if they could ofer us a safe place to cope, an accessible way to process the collective trauma of living? I set out to write Jinkies! or The Dog Play bearing all of this in mind.

In Jinkies!, the members of our favorite teenage mystery-solving team have been split up, out navigating the “real world” away from their home in Coolsville, Ohio; a town that’s not very real at all. This play is about coping, about finding your place in the world and about who you leave behind. It’s about the consequences of youth and growing up too fast. Mostly it’s about time; something that never seemed to matter in the cartoons of my childhood. Who gets to have time? Who is allowed second chances? Who gets the chance to change?

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR Hello everyone and welcome to Jinkies! or The Dog Play. I'm so excited you are able to experience this work! In this play we explore what happens when the world of a cartoon collides with reality. It's easy to think that there are no real conflicts in an animated world because we as audience don't see them.

Similar to a cartoon world, we as people sometimes hide our true selves from even the people we are closest to. It's hard to confront those close to you who have failed you. It’s hard to ask for help. This doesn't mean that it isn't worth it.

Sometimes we find greater truths in the cartoons we watch than in real life; however, these cartoon characters have no choice but to face their truths whether they like it or not. In this play, we see what happens when these characters all come back together afer a decade of running away from their emotions and each other. As our trusty gang works to thwart one more villain, will they end up being the ones unmasked afer all?
