Mata, and Maria R. Salazar. Directed by Paula Rodriguez and featuring the ensemble cast of Brizzo Torres, Jojanie Moreno, Isabel DeLaCerda, and Laura T. Garza.The Panza Monologues is based on women's stories about their panzast sabesthat roll of belly we all try to hide. The Panza Monologues features the words of Chicanas speaking with humor and candor. Their stories boldly place the panza front and center as a symbol that reveals the lurking truths about women's thoughts, lives, loves, abuses, and living conditions.Since its inception in San Anto, Panza has played across the nation (East, West, North, South) but now it's coming home to where it all began, to its origin, to its source AND now it's a book! Now it's been the subject of doctoral dissertations! Now, it's been independently produced by professional and amateur and college theater companies alike across the country! It became a film, filmed in L.A.! Now Teatro Audaz is putting it back into the bodies and lives of San Anto women and onto San Anto land to revisit and reconnect with the lives of women in San Anto who first inspired this project/play. We bring it back to San Anto to explore the issues of obesity, diabetes, food deserts...income inequality, all STILL prevalent in San Anto...ten years on, what remains the same? What do we still need to change? Why can't it be changed?Aug 13th - 22nd (Fri & Sat @ 7:30pm / Sundays @ 2pm)Location: The Cellar Theater (800 W Ashby Pl, SA TX 78212)ALL TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED ONLINE - NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT THE DOOR
