In a tiny, family-run factory, fabric flies and tempers flare when Ana, fresh out of high school, rebels against the status quo with dreams of becoming a writer. But deportation and the pressure to not abandon her heritage become a heated debate. These incredibly strong women gossip about food and sex and love…and size, while rewriting Corporate America’s definition of beauty. A coming of age comedy, set in East LA, written, directed and designed by an all-women team.
REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES
Reviews
Production work is first-rate from the all-women cast and crew, particularly Tanya Orellana's elaborately detailed clothing factory and Jessica Champagne-Hansen's gorgeous evening dresses. Full of heart and soul, Real Women Have Curves combines a moving story and contemporary issues into an entertaining, upbeat evening of theatre.
All the actors are real and wonderful in their roles, and we get a vivid sense of how emotional and powerless they feel at times. ...Garry Marshall Theatre has a winner in this first play of their second season. Come and enjoy. It is fun, poignant, heartwarming, and a MUST see. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
It gives an insight into the experiences faced by immigrants and proves the power of women.
Real women not only have curves, they join forces to bring audiences a female-fueled revival of Josefina López's Real Women Have Curves, a Garry Marshall Theatre crowd-pleaser if there ever was one.
