Greetings, good people of the internet. It is time, once again, to meet the Angry Reader of the Week, spotlighting you, the very special readers of this website. Over the years, I've been able to connect with a lot of cool folks, and this is a way of showing some appreciation and attention to the people who help make this blog what it is. This week's Angry Reader is Jesca Prudencio.
Who are you?
I am Jesca Prudencio.
I am a lover, a laugher, a fighter, a Tita, a lumpia-maker, and a director.

Where are you from?
I grew up in central Pennsylvania suburb surrounded by trees, strip malls, and a huge Filipino community.
I am from the smell of garlic rice sizzling in the morning, my sounds of father playing the piano serenading my mother at 8am, and late night Karaoke.

I direct theater.
I create theatrical events that make people FEEL things.
I craft happenings that bring people together and spark discussion.
I make things that make people go, "oooh, aaaww, mmmm, hahahha... damn."
