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. Now, as writing partners, we tell women and girl-driven narratives about dreams and hope, sprinkled vigorously with quips and whimsy. You can always find us blending Latin music, pop, and musical theater songwriting together in an eclectic (and occasionally bilingual) blend.
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. You can learn more about this exciting project at caballerocordray.com!
