23 YEARS IN REPERTORY- the longest running Off-Broadway Spanish language play
La Gringa is about a young woman’s search for her identity. Maria Elena Garcia goes to visit her family in Puerto Rico during the Christmas holidays and arrives with plans to connect with her homeland. Although this is her first trip to Puerto Rico, she has had an intense love for the island, and even majored in Puerto Rican Studies in college.
Once Maria is in Puerto Rico, she realizes that Puerto Rico does not welcome her with open arms. The majority of the Puerto Ricans on the island consider her an American – a gringa – and Maria considers this a betrayal.
"90 minutes of laughter...Carmen Rivera’s iconic play that captures the spirit of the Puerto Rican experience." – The New York Times
