Delores, Who Now Knows Everything by Kathleen Culebro
In 18th-century Mexico, Dolores is revived from her deathbed after her husband, Santiago, strikes a bargain with God. She returns with miraculous knowledge of all things past, present and future, including science, art, and a lost Shakespeare play she is desperate to preserve. Meanwhile, the town priest will do whatever he has to do to regain the attention that has now turned toward Dolores, including stage his own near-death experience to access divine wisdom.

...is a Mexican-born, bilingual playwright and community builder whose plays have been produced across the United States and abroad, with The New York Times describing her as “clearly a writer of promise.” Her works include A Leopard Complains of Its Spots, La Llorona, Smart Pretty Funny, and The Amazing, Fabulous, and Spectacular Untruths of Juan Garcia—a semifinalist for the 2024 O’Neill National Playwrights Conference. Dolores, Who Now Knows Everything, has been selected for two

From 2000 to 2025, Culebro was the Founding Artistic Director of Amphibian Stage, in Fort Worth, a nationally-recognized theatre company she built into a hub for artists and audiences. Under her leadership, Amphibian launched world premieres that went on to wider life, developed innovative community programs, and received the American Theatre Wing’s National Theatre Company Award.

After 25 years of artistic leadership, Culebro has returned her full focus to her own writing. Her contributions as both playwright and artistic leader have earned her recognition including Arts Fort Worth’s 2025 Trailblazer Award, the 2020 Kline-Watts Award for Cultural Contribution, and a Special Citation for Support of the Veteran Community.
When she is not writing, Kathleen trains dogs privately and works on the Behavior Team at the Humane Society of North Texas, specializing in reactive and under-socialized pups. She lives in Fort Worth, Texas with her husband and two high-maintenance dogs.
