Our Story
In 2016, Jimena and I serendipitously shared a cabin at Interlochen Arts Camp. Four years later, I reached out to Jimena with a proposal: to write a musical together. We've been working together since—across two continents, three countries, and four states.



Esperanza Rising: The Musical
Jimena and I are currently adapting Pam Muñoz Ryan's award-winning novel Esperanza Rising to the stage. In the spring of 2024, we presented a workshop production at the esteemed ASCAP Foundation Musical Theatre Librettists Workshop. We then further developed the piece at the Johnny Mercer Songwriters Group in Nashville and the Goodspeed Writers Grove. For inquiries, please email caballerocordray@gmail.com.
