Josefina Lopez's hit coming-of-age musical comedy is now showing at the James Earl Jones Theatre. When one woman's desire to challenge the norm affects her family business, she, unbeknownst changes the course of Corporate America...
In 80's East Los Angeles, Ana has just graduated from high school, full of bright ideas and big dreams of becoming a writer. Ana wants to change the status quo. However, her wishes raise alarm amongst the members of her family's small factory. As tempers flare and the fear of deportation looms, the women discuss life, love, and size as they forge the path for change.
