Doña Mañana is such a powerful show with a critical message: we can build a new world that celebrates all of our identities, and allows us all to be free. It was incredibly impactful to see this show at the Whitney Museum of American Art because the institution is consistently trying to broaden and challenge the way we define "American"; from my perspective, Doña Mañana does exactly that in a creative, thoughtful, and engaging way.

Giving hope to us all, the cast represented many of us that come from diverse backgrounds and celebrate multicultural heritage. I especially enjoyed the musical interventions and the use of technology which enhanced the magical-realism of the play by involving the audience in a significant way. The whole experience was truly wonderful as I forgot for a moment that I was not inside a theater on Broadway.

Doña Mañana is a magical performance that calls the immigration policies in America to attention and dares to question an individual's capacity to imagine and to dream. People's Theatre Project is doing the work of the people, for the people, by the people most affected by these oppressive systems. A refreshing theatrical evening that connected me back to my cultura.
