¡Someone ExtraordinariX!

¡Someone ExtraordinariX! deals with immigration and artists Visa’s, something many members of the cast and creative team are dealing with. Playwright Olavarria shared why she wrote the play, “I wrote ¡Someone ExtraordinariX! because I needed to do it. Whether it was because I needed to feel, say, share, express, fight, or do something, that is up for you to decide. All I know is that it came from need. I needed to express what I was feeling, I needed to talk about what is happening to me and so many others. I could say I got inspired by immigration, by my friends, by my life, by seeing how unjust this process is and wanting to do something about it, which are obviously things that are on my mind but the truth is I wasn’t thinking about that while I wrote. I just wrote what I felt.” Written by Poli Olavarria
