HOW THE GARCIA GIRLS LOST THEIR ACCENTS Opens March 25 at Miracle Theatre Group

The Miracle Theatre Group production of 'How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents', a play by Karen Zacarías based on the best-selling novel by Julia Alvarez, will open March 25 and run through April 17, 2010. The production will be in English.

Uprooted from their home in the Dominican Republic, the four Garcia sisters arrive in New York City in 1960 to find a life far different from the genteel existence of maids, manicures and extended family they had to leave. As they plunge headfirst into the freewheeling American mainstream with its dizzying choices and challenges, they remain forever caught between the old world and the new. What they have lost - and gained - is revealed in this vivacious story bursting with passion.
