Real women have curves

Set in a tiny sewing factory in East Los Angeles in 1987, 'Real Women Have Curves' follows five full-figured Mexican-American women as they race to meet impossible production deadlines while hiding from immigration authorities.

The story is told through the eyes of Ana, a recent high school graduate who dreams of going to college and becoming a writer, despite her family's expectations and the challenges of her undocumented status.

Over the course of a week, the women share their struggles, dreams, and secrets, forging a powerful bond as they confront societal pressures, gender politics, and the politics of beauty.

The play is both a celebration of real women's bodies and a microcosm of the Latina immigrant experience in the United States.
