GIRL PLANET II: DESAPARECIENDO/DISAPPEARING

TeAda Productions presents a weekend of staged reading performances of FAVORITE COUSINS, the latest play to come out of the Latina Playwright development program, GIRL PLANET: Desaparecienco/Dissapearing.  This is the third show in TeAda’s 2007 Season featuring a new play by local artist and TeAda veteran, Lindsey Haley.

GIRL PLANET began in 2005 as a joined program with Center Theatre Group’s New Play Development Program with a series of writing workshops for emerging Latina playwrights based in Los Angeles.  This year, TeAda Productions resurrects Girl Planet with FAVORITE COUSINS, a new play by Lindsey Haley that explores the socio-economic problems that arise between two Chicana cousins and the rift caused by a desire to rise above the working class.  Set in present Santa Monica, FAVORITE COUSINS questions the prejudices that society projects onto Chicano culture and its struggle to survive even within the old school neighborhoods.

Corky Dominguez joins the creative team as its Director.  Currently the Associate Artistic Director at the California Youth Theatre, Corky has also been involved with TeAda’s past new theater works festivals.  Cristina Frias and Raquel Salinas join the cast, both of whom were involved in the last GIRL PLANET staged readings that took plays at Highways in 2004.
