Los Actores, El Paso’s Spanish bilingual theater company will present Confessions of Women from East L.A. from November 2-4, 2006 at the El Paso Playhouse, 2501 Montana.
Performances of this play by L.A. native Josefina Lopez and directed by company member and first-time director Joanne Lopez are Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
This play is related as a series of monologues in English by nine Latinas from Los Angeles. They represent a cross-section of contemporary Hispanic women and tackle a wide range of issues. In the words of the playwright: “Latina women have always been categorized and portrayed as virgins, mothers and whores in plays, movies and television. I don’t like that because I am none of them. I am a combination of all of them…Latinas are complex, diverse and powerful.”
Tickets are $8.00 for adults; $6.00 for seniors 65 and older, full-time students, and active duty military. They will be available at the door starting at 7:00 p.m. For groups of 15 or more to take advantage of the special $5.00 rate, tickets must be purchased at least 48 hours in advance.
For more information, call 474-4275 or 240-7693, or call the El Paso Playhouse at
