Julio Torres' Color Theories is now available on the small screen, direct from Off-Broadway!

The spectacle airs on HBO March 27 at 8 PM ET (check local listings), and will then be available to stream on demand via HBO Max.

Fresh from winning a 2025 Peabody Award for his HBO series Fantasmas, Color Theories finds Torres—an Emmy-nominated writer-director-performer—blending stand-up, design, and dream logic into a whimsical exploration of color, emotion, and identity that is equal parts comedy, theatre, and art piece.
