CELEBRATING FTL’s 3rd ANNIVERSARY

Fulton Edge Series: Yo Soy Latina! is Friday Feb 18 at 9pm. 4th floor.

mdsalinas — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:19:32 +0000

YO SOY LATINA! is a funny and very moving 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.
