A reimagined and rewritten stage script by Escobar, presented on January 27, 2025—marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz—at The Plaza Theatre in El Paso, Texas.

“Posdata (Or What I Wish I Said)” was inspired by stories of people from El Paso, TX who responded to a simple prompt: What I wish I said. A representation of El Paso’s past and present, the play showed the audience two separate dynamics of the city. The parts that portray the past tell the story of Remo Guillén, who discovers postcards from the future during a time of war in Mexico. He deals with the troubles of being in love with a married woman, Esther Jones-Fontana, whose family photography business he works for. The future timeline shows five high school students locked in the same building as the business in the present, trying to produce a pitch to win the scholarship contest they participated in. While the two timelines show characters from different areas and backgrounds in El Paso, the play brings them together in a way that is relatable for everyone watching. production also featured an immersive art installation by Laura Turón."

“Like much of Escobar's work, this play [B.I.{BE}] is capital F-U-N FUN. But not only that, I think the play needs to be seen, especially by young audiences, to start a conversation about binary and non-binary identities. Escobar does this without being heavy-handed so the play moves along briskly. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to engage with young audiences in a new way. I think this play would be great for young performers and college-aged theatre groups, as well. Highly recommended! ” Trevor Boffone (Scholar, 50PP); Listed on Steppenwolf's "The Mix"

“Escobar has written a lovely Día de Muertos play for children and families is presented in English and Spanish, and also through shadow puppetry, projections and several other magical stage elements to weave a tale of memory, loss and despair, as well as remembrance, determination, and hope, told with delight and clarity. The narrative takes on real world significance, as loss comes in many forms, death being only one of them. A beautiful work for a troubling time." David Hansen (Playwright)

“This colorful play celebrates the present moment - at every turn; like turning a kaleidoscope it reveals something new, moment to moment, truly embracing the theatricality of "identity-in-progress." The text in performance is able to conjure both laughter and tears as we witness a collection of individuals attempt to love each other in spite of their inability to quell past fears. Georgina's humanity and empathy as a playwright shines through in this hilarious & heartbreaking work! ” ​Adam Burnett (Artistic Director, Buran Theatre) The Movement Theatre Company (reading) NYC 2018 Workshop Production Dixon Place NYC 2015

The effect is a little bit dark without losing innocence or hope" The Alibi "What a gorgeous play: it's dreamy, fantastical, magical, poetic. A TYA piece that is also accessible for adult audiences, which is a real challenge. ASH TREE would be an exciting challenge for a creative team: lighting designers, set designers, costumers, and an exciting cast of characters..." Jordan Elizabeth Henry Kennedy Center Darryl Hayes TYA Award, 2011

“ [The Beacons] A crazy explosion of pop culture and socio-political prophecies through a pinball narrative. This play takes so many interesting twists and turns, it is hard not to be delighted by its whimsy. A great play for a cast of strong female-identified actors! ” J. Julian Christopher (Playwright) Best Unproduced Plays, 50 PP 2018​ National Playwrights Conference Eugene O'Neill Semi-Finalist 2018

“Georgina Escobar is like a surrealist Sam Shepard created in a lab by Maria Irene Fornés and Caryl Churchill but they dropped a bunch of 50's pulp scifi in the vat by accident. And then STONEHEART is her somehow doing an incredible Chekhov impression on top of all that. A family play that exists within our reality and just beyond it.” Matt Barbot (Playwright) The Kilroys 2019 ​National Playwrights Conference Eugene O'Neill Finalist (2019, 2025).

“ An unflinching look at border issues that is simultaneously beautiful and grotesque, dreamlike and nightmarish. Like much of Escobar's work, this play provides an excellent opportunity for directors, actors and designers alike to stretch their imaginations to bring this play to life. ” Amelia Ampuero (Artistic Director, Duke City Rep)
