Our host Nancy Paloma Collins sits with the writer of a musical for a conversation about heartbreak, pain and the journey to find your true self. 
This episode explores the development of Arena a House Music-al with Abel Alvarado, the true story of a young man that found his true self through an experience at the world famous Arena Night Club that closed in 2015. Abel knew that his story and the stories of so many needed to be document and told for others to hear and inspire those that need to feel empowered to find their true self.
