Beautiful Señoritas, performances on April 27th and April 28th

Don't miss IC Teatro's upcoming performances of Beautiful Señoritas, by renowned Cuban writer and columnist Dolores Prida. Performances take place on Saturday, April 27th at 7pm in the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA), 330 E. MLK/State St; and on April 28th at 6pm in Textor 101, Ithaca College.

In her essay "The Show Does Go On" (Breaking the Boundaries), Dolores Prida describes Beautiful Señoritas as "a modest one-act musical play that poke[s] fun at longstanding Latin women stereotypes—from Carmen Miranda to Cuchi Cuchi Charo to suffering black-shrouded women crying and praying over their tortillas to modern-day young Latinas trying to re-define their images."

The play, which is performed in English, is both deeply moving and deeply humorous.

The performance features four female lead actors, Gipsy Fernández, Yuberky Reyes, Eva María Toure, and Reisy Veloz, who have been a consistent presence within IC Teatro. 

IC Teatro’s production is sponsored by the Department of Modern Language and Literatures and the Latin American Studies Department.

Performances in English will be considered, provided that they are connected with a language offered by the DMLL. This year, our event will be held on Monday, April 22nd in the Handwerker Gallery.
