About the 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. Once in Puerto Rico, she realizes that the majority of the Puerto Ricans on the island consider her an American—a gringa. So if she is a Puerto Rican in the United States and an American in Puerto Rico, where does she belong? Maria wrestles to find belonging in her many homes and comes to learn that her identity is self-defined and found in her heart.
