Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes (Water by the Spoonful) joins The Center for Fiction to celebrate the play adaption of her memoir My Broken Language with the full cast of the premiere Signature Theatre production. In this memoir-turned-play, Hudes showcases a handful of key life moments that mark subtle changes in her sense of self and her place in the world. Interlaid between these vignettes are moments of song, dance, and ritual that evoke her boisterous girlhood in a house run by the Perez women. Featuring performances by the original cast (Yadira Correa, Zabryna Guevara, Yani Marin, Samora la Perdida, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Marilyn Torres) and a rich discussion with Hudes on her coming of age, the craft of book-to-screen adaptation, and the communal nature of autobiography, this is a can’t-miss event. After the event, Hudes will sign copies of the play.
