Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme presents the theater Festival exploring Latinas’ challenges and triumphs, the Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme’s TRIGGER WARNING!. The festival runs Thursday, March 7th through Sunday, March 31st, 2019 at Casa0101, 2102 E 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90033.

Currently in its seventh year of original new works, Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme sprung from the desire to foster more Latina-driven creative work. Since its modest beginning in 2013, Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme has more than quadrupled in size, presented 100 new plays, and has broken attendance records at Casa 0101 Theater by selling out nearly every show.  

Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme empowers Latinas by giving them the tools to develop new creative works. Each of the playwrights also takes on the role of director and associate producer, making it an entirely Latina driven production.

Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme is produced by Claudia Duran and Rocio Diaz.

Associate Producers, Writers, and Directors include Angela Moore, Daniela Naranjo, Doreen Sanchez, Elena Dominguez, Elvia Rubalcava, Lorena Ortega, Mari Mercado, Maria G. Martinez Mariana Herrera, Shanelle Garcia, Sherezada Caballero, Suzanne Linares, and Wendy Castro.
