This rich collection of varying styles, forms, themes, and genres includes work by Yareli Arizmendi, Josefina Baez, The Colorado Sisters, Migdalia Cruz, Evelina Fernandez, Cherrie Moraga, Carmen Pelaez, Carmen Rivera, Celia H. Rodriguez, Diane Rodriguez, and Milcha Sanchez-Scott, as well as commentary by Kathy Perkins and Caridad Svich on the present state of Latinas in theatre roles.
