During the 2025 North to Shore festival, YTC formally launched a brand new series, Soul-O! What better place to feature the next Soul-O show, than during the 2026 North to Shore festival? YTC will present a fully staged one person theatre production by an artist with deep Jersey roots, as a part of our ongoing “Soul-O” series. Previous entries in this series (or solo shows that we’ve produced before the formalized name/ branding) include, Quarter Rican by Gabriel Hernandez that premiered at Newark Symphony Hall before transferring to the regional professional theatre in Hoboken (Mile Square Theatre), Off Broadway at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, and Los Angeles at LATC. We are excited to add a new entry to the series. Artists with shows in consideration for our next entry in the ‘Soul-O’ series include, Lisa Strum and reg e gaines.
