Laughs in Spanish is an uproarious celebration of family, creativity, and finding your people. Disaster erupts when a famed artist’s paintings go missing the night before Mari’s career-defining show in her Miami gallery. To make matters worse, her movie star mother appears to turn this crime scene into a fast-paced comedy.

THE PUNCHLINE

written and performed by Christopher Rivas

The Lillie Theatre
May 1 - May 30, 2027

“If we only had a year to live, what would change in us?” The Punchline, a new solo piece from playwright and performer Christopher Rivas (The Real James Bond...Was Dominican), urges us to build an altar to our current life and the moments that touch and change us, while we’re still alive. Through humor, story, and ceremony, The Punchline reminds us to live in the present and celebrate it as sacred--because nothing can last forever. This production was developed during the 2025 Momentum Festival.
