Our Utopia By Carlos-Zenen Trujillo | Evening reading
ANPF 2021 New Voices playwright Carlos-Zenen Trujillo returns to ANPF with their new play Our Utopia, a commission of Bag&Baggage Productions, which is co-producing this developmental reading. The immersive story of this new play delves into the darker side of an idealistic community.
“Oregon is home to its share of idealistic dreamers, communes, and, well, cults. Our Utopia asks what we are willing to give up so that we can belong,” shares ANPF Artistic Director Jackie Apodaca, who is the Our Utopia director for both this workshop and the play’s world premiere at Bag&Baggage in the fall of 2023.
Trujillo is an alumnus of Southern Oregon University, and their play Christmas Contigo premiered in 2021 at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre. Currently, Trujillo is a cohort member of Artists Repertory Theatre’s PATHWAYS Mentorship Program.
