About the EventThe
Latina Leadership Council and
Teatro Luna--Chicago's all-Latina theater company--are proud to present a special performance of "Generic Latina 2010." Tickets include an exclusive pre-show reception, seats for the show, and a post-show talk-back with the cast and director--with champagne! Proceeds go toward the
Maria Mangual Unidas Fund, which supports programs helping girls and women in Chicago's Latina community.
About the Play Created and produced in 2000, the original Generic Latina was Teatro Luna's pioneering inaugural production devised to combat the various Latina stereotypes dominating mainstream media. In honor of the 10 year anniversary of their first examination of Latina identity, the Lunáticas take on the question: What has changed for Latinas over the past 10 years? Generic Latina 2010 challenges you to confront old stereotypes and face new ones through original music, spoken word, and new autobiographical stories reflecting the diverse lives of these women: from one young woman's legal battle to change her name, to an intimate portrait of a Brazilian's first-time wax (you mean to say that Brazilians don't really wax that way?), to a woman's surprise discovery that the only internationally understood reference to her
own culture is West Side Story.
