The Gustavo Ott comedy produced by LatinUs Theatre Company – and performed entirely in Spanish – makes its Ohio debut this February
Cleveland (February 17, 2020) – Sometimes, life’s challenges can bring about the unlikeliest of friendships. In “Divorcées, Evangelists and Vegetarians” (Divorciadas, Evangélicas y Vegetarianas) three women, each at a crossroads in their lives, face their demons and societies expectations with a little bit of irony.
Gloria, a self-centered vegetarian; Beatriz, a resentful divorcee; and Meche, an existential evangelical explore themes of love, maternity, work, and religion. Under the direction of Kivin Bauzo, three local Latina actresses will address the pressures women face to behave in a certain way. “Divorcées, Evangelists and Vegetarians” has played to audiences across the U.S. and Europe and remains ever so prominent in this era of feminism revival.
