LAS GARCIA to Premiere at 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival

Actor, Writer, and Spoken Word Poet Gabriela Ortega returns to the Hollywood Fringe festival with the debut of her solo performance Las Garcia, a poignantly funny piece about two women of the same bloodline, fighting to find themselves through love, war, and their innermost desires. Directed by Alex Alpharaoh, Ortega explores what it means to be an independent woman in a dependent world, where conflict is always looming around the corner. Las García begins its run on Sunday, June 5th - June 25th at Asylum @ Studio C Artists.
