Elizabeth Irwin
New York based playwright Elizabeth Irwin will be attending our hit LA Premiere of her play My Mañana Comes on Saturday May 14th at 8pm. Immediately following the performance, Irwin will be joined by the cast and director for a Q&A Talkback discussion with the audience.
My Mañana Comes is set in the frenzied kitchen of a fancy New York restaurant toiled by four busboys — three Mexican, one African American. The funny and fast-moving new play dramatizes such timely issues as immigration, undocumented workers, fair pay for labor, and chasing the American Dream.
Pablo Castelblanco, Lawrence Stallings and Peter Pasco
