Realistic in style, Matchmaker takes place in 1920, in a shabby drawing room in the lower middle-class home of a Polish village matchmaker. Pawns of their trade, what seemed to be “arranged marriages” are anything but.  This production is part of the year-long “Conversation on Immigration” organized and supported by the OSU Center for Ethics and Human Values.  (immigration.osu.edu)

 

Set in a tiny sewing factory in East L.A., Real Women Have Curves is the outrageously funny story of five full-figured Mexican-American women who are racing to meet nearly impossible production deadlines in order to keep their tiny factory from going under. This play, a microcosm of the Latina immigrant experience, celebrates real women's bodies, the power of women, and the incredible bond that happens when women work together.
