ABOUT THE PLAY

After their Mami passes away, Manita and Rosita deal with it in very different ways. Manita feels haunted by their mother, while Rosita seems to be living her best life. Until Mami’s younger sister, Miri, with her fresh new Green Card, arrives in NYC ready to start a new life while still tightly hanging on to the past. In the midst of burying their Mami, Rosita, and Manita have to deal with the family secrets that they dig up. La Sosa Sisters deals with what it means to belong to a family that is separated by space and time.

Paola Alexandra Soto’s full-length play La Sosa Sisters was part of the School of the Arts New Play Festival 2022, before that, it was a finalist for the Columbia@Roundabout 2021 New Play Reading series, and most recently it received a micro-development grant from the National Black Theater.
