Blending music, dance and theater, The Wanting showcases phinx's original songs and intense vocal performance, which has been described as a blend of Bjork, Marlene Dietrich and Prince.

I Didn’t Cry, written and directed by Perez and directed by Hilda Willis, spans several generations and is told through the voices of Shaila, Santa, Soledad, the mother and HE, Santa's drug-addicted husband and father of her children. The story unfolds masterfully, through Ms. Perez’s portrayal of each character in the story. Audiences are drawn into the world of these characters as they love, live and learn.
