This is Me, a female power comedy written by Barbara Bernardi, will have it's Off-Broadway debut Special Performance directed by Yudelka Heyer, at The Actors Temple.
Due to popular demand, This is Me is back, and to celebrate, they present their new poster and promo pictures.
Continuing with the 1950's perfect housewife vibe, actors Gabriela Lopez Hernandez and Claire-Monique Martin got together with creative team Barbara Bernardi and Yudelka Heyer for a very fun Photoshoot. Photographs were taken by Victor Díaz.
This is Me is about a group of six women from different backgrounds; NATALIA, CAMILLA, BRITTNEY, AUTUMN, ANA and EVE; find themselves at ´THE HAPPY, YOUTH AND FOREVER HEALTH CENTER´ attending a self help group on how to be a proper woman. All led to this place either on false pretenses, confusion, or by force, they try to figure out together who decided that there should be a manual on how to be a "lady". One by one, they start talking about their lives; touching subjects being dealt with nowadays: from unfairness of being a woman at the workplace, harassment in different spaces (public, work, private settings), self love, transitioning from male to female, family values, soulmates, the idea of perfect beauty, to the theory that the image of "the vagina" has been displayed as an ugly monster in the media. By sharing every piece of their souls, and proving that gender is just a form of biological distinction, they start connecting and embracing one another. But who is in charge at ´The Happy, Youth and Forever Health Center´? And why is a weird loud woman named CLAIRE their only source of communication in there?

339 West 47th street, New York, NY, 10036
