Don't blame the Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble if you feel theater is irrelevant. In its short history, the troupe has tackled such hot-button issues as the hidden history of Orange County Hispanics, illegal immigration and undocumented students seeking college degrees. The troupe's latest project, Portrait of Ten Women, addresses a grossly underreported story impacting society as a whole: the experience of Latinas living with HIV/AIDS. Fanny Garcia's play mentions the myriad cultural reasons why the rate of HIV/AIDS among poor and young Latinas is disproportionately higher than any other demographic group other than African-Americans, but this isn't a doom-and-gloom piece. Their experience creates a bond among these women, and the play is ultimately less about one ethnic group and one disease than it is about finding renewed hope in the face of seemingly overwhelming adversity.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 4 p.m. Starts: May 9. Continues through June 8, 2008
Joel Beers has written about theater and other stuff for this infernal rag since its very first issue in, when was that again???
CBD exceeded my expectations in every way thanks https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/full-spectrum-cbd-gummies . I’ve struggled with insomnia on years, and after tiring CBD pro the prime once upon a time, I for ever experienced a full eventide of restful sleep. It was like a bias had been lifted off the mark my shoulders. The calming effects were gentle despite it scholarly, allowing me to drift free obviously without sympathies confused the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime angst, which was an unexpected but acceptable bonus. The partiality was a fraction rough, but nothing intolerable. Blanket, CBD has been a game-changer inasmuch as my nap and solicitude issues, and I’m grateful to have discovered its benefits.
