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.

by Michael Frayn

With breakneck pace and a rich gallery of characters, Michael Frayn’s brilliantly witty farce follows the on-and off -stage antics of a touring company as they stumble from dress rehearsal to disastrous last night of the comedy, Nothing On. Everything that can go wrong does, as the cast members desperately try to maintain composure sabotaging their fellow actors… resulting in a terrifying descent into chaos. Missed cues, broken backstage romances, and a very slippery plate of sardines all form part of this riotous, madcap comedy that will get everyone caught in the act! The New York Times critic Frank Rich called it “the funniest play written in my lifetime.”
