Teatro La Tea In Association With The Black Latina Movement Present: Black Latina: The Play

Aug. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Critically acclaimed production, “Black Latina: The Play” returns to the theatre at Teatro La Tea (housed in the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center)  featuring special guest *Judy Torres. Written by Crystal Shaniece Roman and directed by veteran director Veronica Caicedo ( “They Call Me La Lupe“, “Sunshine”) this thought -provoking drama, opens with a limited engagement beginning September 5th thru September 8th.

“We wanted to bring Black Latina back to the forefront because as one of the fastest growing communities in the United States, we want to expose the triumphs and struggles that can come from within and in our own circles“, says Apryl Lopez, President of The Black Latina Movement.

The narrative depicts the story of today’s Black Latina in the United States. Whether dark- skinned or indeed African-American and Hispanic, Black Latina chronicles the journey of ones struggle identifying with both cultures. It deals with external factors from society to media as well as the internal viewpoints of family and friends . With characters based on the four strongest emotions one confronts in the face of adversity (Anger, Sadness, Love, Empowerment), each character gives testimony  justifying the emotional names they carry.

“With various successful runs throughout the east coast, we are very excited to bring Black Latina: The Play back to our home base of New York and  share our perspective to a brand new audience. We are honored to have the support of  “Queen of Freestyle“ *Judy Torres during this upcoming showcase“, says CEO of The Black Latina Movement, Crystal  Shaniece Roman.
