MAMI, MAMI, QUIEN SOY?
written and performed by Raquel Salinas
directed by D'Lo
While facing a mother’s dementia, a mother/daughter relationship goes from adversary to love.  Through the power of forgiveness, a woman finds herself the keeper of her mother’s stories.  Veteran solo performer Raquel Salinas crafts a magnificent multi-character tale of caregiving, the process of letting go what was, and embracing what is.

CARRIE’S WEB
written and performed by Shyamala Moorty
directed by D'Lo
A young South Asian woman struggles to untangle herself from cultural and familial webs. She looks for empowerment to stop cycle of violence only to find help from an extremely unlikely source.

Come join the healing through laughter, tears and hope.
