\nJosefina L\u00f3pez, the Creator and Playwright of Real Women Have Curves, said: \u00a0\u201cWhen I wrote the first words of my play 38 years ago in March of 1988, I felt I was divinely guided to write my story and share it with the world. \u00a0I never envisioned the lasting impact and topical relevance my words would have this many years later.\u00a0 When I was 18-years-old writing in my journal about my hilarious experiences at my sister’s sewing factory in east L.A. I channeled my anger at the machismo I experienced growing up and the objectification of women and racism by Hollywood and my experience being undocumented.\u00a0 And now, years later, I have learned why this story has been embraced and become a hit.\u00a0 My story celebrates the four stages of being a womankind, the challenges of transitioning to the next stage and embracing the natural and organic process of aging and coming into our own wisdoms.\u00a0 When women celebrate their lives and play they create sacred space that helps others be liberated of shame especially of their bodies. \u00a0My story is a sacred dance of feminine goddess energy and camaraderie that was inspired by my own mother, sister and the women in my life at that time, which has taken on a higher purpose beyond what I ever initially could have imagined.\u201d

\nCorky Dominguez, Director of Real Women Have Curves, said, \u201cI have had the great pleasure of collaborating with Josefina L\u00f3pez on many of her original plays by taking what she has written on the page and breathing life into her characters and words by realizing them on the stage.\u00a0 Given what is happening in the world we are living in today, the spot on poignancy of Josefina’s themes and plotline in Real Women Have Curves, laced with a heavy dose of humor, is undeniably pertinent, joyous and uplifting for our times.\u00a0 This will be the take away for audience members who come to see our production!\u201d
