The Marsh Berkeley presents playwright and performer Tina D’Elia’s hit comedy, Overlooked Latinas, offering its comedic blend of queer storytelling, history, culture, and chaos. At the solo play’s center is Angel Torres, a butch lesbian TV writer striving to bring her dream series, “Overlooked Latinas,” to life. The fictional series celebrates the often-overlooked stories of legendary Latinx movie stars like Ramon Novarro, Dolores Del Rio, Lupe Vélez, and Rosaura Revueltas, who faced significant adversity during the McCarthy era. As Angel pushes to gain buy-in from a TV producer, her personal life devolves into chaos. Highlighting the resilience and contributions of the Latinx and queer communities this rollicking work creates a celebration of identity and history, visibility, and representation.
