'Real Women Have Curves'

MiraCosta College is proud to present Josefina Lopez’s Real Women Have Curves opening April 27 in the MiraCosta College Theatre.

The play will feature a cast of aspiring MiraCosta College student actors with theatre professor, Tracy Williams, serving as director of the production.

Set in a tinysewing factory in East L.A., the play focuses on the 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. While they work, hiding from the INS, they engage in various conversations regarding their husbands and lovers, their children, their cellulite and their dreams for the future.
