Yo Soy Latina

After a successful, three-year Off-Off Broadway run, Yo Soy Latina (YSL), a Latino Flavored Production, reaches new heights in a limited run on Off-Broadway this summer. An honest and funny look at what it means to be Latina in America, it explores the stories of six diverse women growing up bi-lingual, bi-cultural and proud to declare YO SOY LATINA!

YSL is written, directed and produced by Linda Nieves-Powell, who addresses real issues through poignant and intelligent short stories. Keynote themes include the media’s idealized images of women, self-identity/acceptance, and the preconceptions experienced within the racially-and-culturally different Latino backgrounds. While titled in Spanish, YSL is written in English and can be enjoyed by a diverse audience.
