BWW Review: THE RIVER BRIDE Refashions the Fairy Tale at Stages Repertory Theatre
by Audrey Morabito - Jan 30, 2019
As a part of Stages Repertory Theatre's 2nd Annual Sin Muros: A Latinx Theatre Festival, Marisela Treviño Orta's The River Bride is composed of an entirely Latinx cast. Orta's play is based on the style of folk tales and the real-life freshwater river dolphins--the "boto". Her work certainly reads with a mystical vibe and mythical undertones, and it is no surprise that she has a background in poetry.
