Writer/performer Irma Herrera returns to the stage of The Marsh Berkeley this fall with her solo work, "Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?" Weaving history and comedic insights into stories about names, this hit solo show sheds light and throws shade on societal prejudices and assumptions. When giving her name its correct Spanish pronunciation, she often gets the where are you from? question. The assumption: that she is a foreigner. Irmas family has been in South Texas for generations, and the award-winning social justice activist, lawyer, and journalist thinks of herself as American as apple pie. Irmas observations from the front-lines, notes from American history, and laugh out-loud humor invite audience members to consider what it will take for everyone to get along. Whats in a name? asks Herrera, a minefield of misplaced notions. Each show will be followed with a post-performance talkback.
