ABOUT THE SHOW:

YO SOY LATINA! is a funny and very moving ensemble play that challenges a group of diverse Latina women to examine their identity and their connections in the contemporary American landscape. The play’s premise unites these women who come to share their individual anecdotes of living Latina in contemporary America . There’s Migdalia, a Nuyorican, who experiences prejudice from her own family because of her interracial marriage; Jennifer, a young Mexican-American college student who’s discovered her Chicana rights; Alicia, a Colombian actress who struggles with what keeps her from landing Latino roles because of the “lightness” of her skin; Maria Elena, a Panamanian, who faces inequity from other Latinos because of the darkness of her skin; Soledad, a Dominican mother who finds the courage to leave her machista husband in pursuit of her own dream; and Louisa, a Cuban-Irish who defends her right to be Latina. http://www.latinoflavored.comshapeimage_1_link_0
YO SOY LATINA! Dear Friends, In 1997, YO SOY LATINA! literally changed my life. Looking back at that moment, I never realized that what I wrote would become my declaration of independence. I somehow knew there would be no turning back after I let those words out. I had found a new me! Since 2000, this play has been performed at 175 colleges and universities across the country. As well, as hundreds of off-Broadway and corporate venues with great success. It’s been some time since I produced this show on my own in New York City. So, for Latino Heritage Month 2007, I am producing this show on 9/15/07 at 8pm at The Center for the Arts at the College of Staten Island. This show is a great opportunity to bring girlfriends, mothers, sisters and even brothers. As everyone can tell you YO SOY LATINA! will leave you with a wonderful feeling of self-acceptance. I hope you can make it! Linda
