A comedy about a troupe of Transgender BIPOC theatre artists reclaiming their space in classical theatre production. They tell the story of Flor & Mario, innamorato who are in love with one another but are kept apart by a nasty, bitter, Step-Mother: La Señora. La Señora is intent on profiting off of her Step-Daughter's marriage, & with the help of the local witch-doctor match-maker, arranges a marriage between Flor and an extremely wealthy & extremely old man. Human trafficking!? Not if Conchita the housemaid has anything to do with it! This comedy features the classical stock characters, an array of contemporary Trans jokes, drag king pandemonium, & a strong love for BIPOC communities surviving white supremacy.
This production is funded with support from the Madison Terrace Cooperative, The DC Center, and others.
