“We’re on the edge of forgetting” — Floy Quintos | Part 1

The playwright and theater luminary explains why he writes plays that reflect our current politics. 

He tries to bridge a political divide with his latest work, “Reconciliation Dinner.” 

Asked if theater can still make an impact, Floy replies: “We need to rid ourselves of the burden of popularity and just do the good work.” He cites the role of art as an expression of dissent through the ages, including the kundiman.
