New York City
Written and developed by the all-female ensemble, The Maria Chronicles follows the old adage “Truth is stranger than fiction,” especially when you’re a Latino trying to make a living as an actress in Chicago. From casting directors whose idea that an authentic Latino accent is inspired by the Taco Bell dog to the pressures of living up to Jennifer Lopez’ derriere, The Maria Chronicles balances a funny look at casting, commercials, and auditions with a poignant perspective on the truth behind the stereotypes.
