OAKLAND, Calif. - EntSun -- As part of Pride Month celebrations in New York, Escobar will perform The Underdog Shinesat
The ONE Festival, the world's longest-running solo theatre festival. The solo performance follows a transgender protagonist navigating identity, survival, cultural expectations, and self-discovery through movement, storytelling, and theatrical transformation.
In addition, Escobar's original work Out of Sync has been selected for the 2026 Technicolor Play Festival in Chicago, a festival dedicated to uplifting trans playwrights, performers, and stories through new theatrical works that challenge, celebrate, and expand representation on stage.
Audience members unable to attend in person may purchase virtual tickets to view performances online through The ONE Festival's streaming platform. Virtual attendees may also have
opportunities to participate in audience voting and festival recognition programs.
"These festivals create space for stories that are often pushed to the margins. I'm honored to share work that reflects the complexity, resilience, and humanity of queer and transgender communities,"said Escobar.
