Confessions Of Women From East L.A.

written by Josefina López

Set in East Los Angeles in 1996, “Confessions of Women from East L.A.” features four actors playing nine Latina female characters. López’s characters are portrayed with courage, humor, and dignity; from a street vendor who challenges city hall for her right to earn a living, and a woman who punishes men with her powerful sexuality, to a Chicana activist who finds courage and strength in Frida Kahlo’s paintings.

Through López’s characters, the play brings to the stage the struggles of Latina women as they face fierce socioeconomic and political obstacles, while imagining better futures for themselves. The play also resonates with themes of patriarchy, sexual expectations, and double standards, as well as social, political, and economic inequities, and sisterhood.

Note: The show features adult themes and language and is not advised for children under 12.
