From the Producers' Notes Why this Play? Why now? In order to answer that, we need to answer the question, "What does it mean to be a community theater?" Sky Performing Arts believes that it is not enough just to put on plays for the community or just to entertain the community. We believe that we must involve and serve the community. And how can we do that when we neglect a significant and growing segment of or our population? Sky Performing Arts has been looking for a couple of years for a Latino play which was within our capabilities and would reach out and speak to our Spanish-speaking friends and neighbors as well as the community at large. In a casual conversation with one of our youthful actors, who is now grown and graduated from college, she mentioned that she was taking a course in Latino Theater at the UW Bothell campus. She said they were reading a great play called, "Real Women Have Curves" and in talking with her, it seemed that this might be just the right fit for our initial foray into these new waters. Angi Simon contacted the playwright, Josefina Lopez, and the UW Bothell instructor, Jeanette Sanchez, and was greeted with excitement and encouragement for this project. After reading the play, the Board decided that now was the time and this was the show. |
