2023.1.13. I'm not your perfect Mexican daughter - a play

1/13, 7:30pm, first show of I'm not your perfect Mexican Daughter By Isaac Gómez Based on the Novel by Erika L. Sánchez. Directed by Juliette Carrillo.

Julia, a 15 year-old girl from an illegal immigrant family, is angry with her parents who asked her to work hard and not flirt, is sad of her sister Olga who died in an accident and who was (seems to) a perfect daughter. Julia discovered a secret of Olga, was sent away to Mexico to calm down, met a "white boy", ... A growing up story.

Well acted. I don't like the stage, which is no stage set. I like the clothing design. The story is, of course, over-exagerated. The dialog is funny. Overall, I enjoyed the play.
