ALOHA, Say the Pretty Girls

Theater Production, 2008
North Fourth Theater
Playwright: Naomi Iizuka
Producer: IN STRANGE COMPANY (Ensemble Theater Company)
Director: Rebeca Mayorga

Working with IN STRANGE COMPANY was such a treat that I joined them. The company's approach to theater was really right up my alley. My subconscious gravitates towards non-linear and poetic scripts while I strongly believe in the power and beauty of ensemble driven productions.

Andarse Por Las Ramas

Theater Production
Presented at the National Hispanic Cultural Center
Co Producers:NHCC and Working Classroom
Playwright: Elena Garro
Director: Rebeca Mayorga
Set and Costume Designer: Rebeca Mayorga
Lighting Designer: Daniel Chapman

For some reason I never thought of making theater in the United States in my native language until the prospect of Andarse Por Las Ramas came my way. Through this project I was reintroduced to Elena Garro's work, which I immediately loved. My inclination for surrealist texts and my desire to continue to work in Spanish makes me want to in the near future explore more of Garro's short plays.
