@SGSG Full Length Play

Inspired by Cambria Kylinn Martin's award-winning short play of the same name, it centers on Lynn when her 8-year-old classmate doesn't believe that she’s Mexican-American because she is white appearing. Through conversations with her monolingual mother and her bilingual father and 12-year-old brother, her and her family journey through self-realization where Lynn must choose between assimilation or accepting her Mexican culture after her persistent denial of her language and culture in upscale Santa Monica, California. All performed with projected Spanish to English and English to Spanish translations provided.
