welcome to meche’s world

I’m Mercedes (or Meche), a Toronto-based playwright, poet, actor, producer, and the Artistic Director of First Born Theatre.

My art is community-driven, rooted in kindness, and deeply creative. I strive to write plays that push the boundaries of theatre and tackle big philosophical questions from a queer and Latina lens.

Thanks for visiting. I look forward to sharing my work with you.
