BREAKDOWN

REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES

SYNOPSIS: Set in a tiny sewing factory in East L.A., this is the outrageously funny story of five full-figured Mexican-American women who are racing to meet nearly impossible production deadlines in order to keep their tiny factory from going under. And while they work, hiding from the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), they talk... about their husbands and lovers, their children, their dreams for the future. The story is told from the point of view of Ana, the youngest among them. Just graduated from high school, Ana dreams of getting out of the barrio and going off to college and becoming a famous writer. Although she needs the money, Ana doesn't like working at the factory and has little respect for the coworkers, who make fun of her ambitions and what they consider her idealistic feminist philosophies. However, Ana keeps coming to her job and chronicling her experiences in a journal. As the summer unfolds, she slowly gains an understanding and appreciation of the work and the women, eventually writing an essay that wins her a journalism fellowship which will take her to New York City. This play, a microcosm of the Latina immigrant experience, celebrates real women's bodies, the power of women, and the incredible bond that happens when women work together.

SEEKING:

[ANA] - 18, plump and pretty, sister of Estela, daughter of Carmen. She is a recent high school graduate and a young feminist who wants to go to college but is stuck in the factory helping out her sister.

[ESTELA] - 34, plump, plain-looking, owner of the “Garcia Sewing Factory”, a hopeless romantic at heart, but a hard worker.

[CARMEN] - 50, a short, large woman, mother of Ana and Estela. She has a talent for storytelling and gossip.

[PANCHA] - 32, a huge woman who is very mellow in her ways, but quick with her tongue, very Catholic and traditional at times.

[ROSALI] - 29, thin, sweet, and easygoing, but has a secret and is insecure about her sexual appeal.
