Written by Alvaro Saar Rios, Luchadora! is a modern Mexican take on the Chinese legend Hua Mulan but set in the world of lucha libre. The story unfolds when Vanessa, played by Micah Wolfe, who plays the modern teen perfectly, discovers a pink mascara de lucha libre in her Nana Lupita's bag. Vanessa then convinces Nana to tell her the story of the mask. Micah's balance of an attentive granddaughter and a distracted teenager was spot on and gave the audience several moments of laughter. Nana Lupita, played wonderfully by Cindy Rodriguez-Martinez, launches into a fantastical tale of flowers, mascara, lucha libre, and overcoming the male ideology that 'girls don't do that,' whatever 'that' may be.
