AMERICAN SIDE EFECTOS
Workshop Production
Written by Debbie Baños
Directed by Esteban Arévalo Ibáñez
July 22-31, 2022
Debbie's second favorite holiday, right after Christmas, has always been the 4th of July, but this year she's not even in the mood for a festive hot dog. Tag along as little Debbie tries to make sense of Mami's mysterious medical issues as adult Debbie revisits her mother's journey immigrating from El Salvador to Arkansas.
Originally produced as a solo show in the summer of 2021, The New Coordinates is pleased to present this piece in process as the artists deepen the storytelling to include an ensemble of actors.
From the original 2021 production at The Edge Off-Broadway. Pictured: Debbie Baños. Photos by Shannon Leigh Webber.
