“The predominant theme in many of my plays is ‘things are not what they seem.’ I find humor in odd places and pathos in the quirky. A number of my plays deal with the unhoused and as a second generation Filipino American I've developed a sensitivity to and empathy with the forgotten and outcast. Still, I feel I'm an optimist. I've always felt my greatest inspirations to be Anton Chekhov and Rocky and Bullwinkle.” ⏤ Felix Racelis
