REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES is now in its final performances at The Pasadena Playhouse (Artistic Director, Sheldon Epps) and must close Sunday, October 4, 2015. The 25th anniversary production of Josefina López's play directed by Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Seema Sueko was a smash hit with both critics and audiences alike.
REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES Director
Seema Sueko says, "REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES has been a joyful ride! It's been fun hearing the audience whoop in recognition in the 'undressing scene' and watching them boogie out of the theatre after the final scene. It's been an honor and a privilege to have Josefina López's great script and these terrific artists gracing our stage."
The Los Angeles Times said of REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES, "Josefina López's crowd-pleasing play is a Cinderella story with a touchingly pure faith in the power of a makeover" and Pasadena Star News called the production "Funny and powerful." Broadway World raved "Screamingly Hilarious!" and Theatermania called López's play "Passionate and celebratory."
Set in a tiny sewing factory in East L.A., this award-winning comedy from acclaimed playwright Josefina López tells the story of five full-figured women racing to meet an impossible deadline to keep their sewing factory from going under. The basis for the award-winning film of the same name starring
America Ferrera, REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES celebrates real bodies, life in southern California, and the incredible bond when women work together.

Blanca Araceli (FX's The Bridge),
Santana Dempsey (HBO's The Newsroom), Diana DeLaCruz (ABC Family's Chasing Life),
Cristina Frias (The Motherf*cker with the Hat at
South Coast Repertory), and
Ingrid Oliu (HBO's Real Women Have Curves, Stand and Deliver).
