Miracle Theater Group presents, How the García Girls Lost their Accents, showing from May 26-April 27.

About the play:

Uprooted from their home in the Dominican Republic, the four García sisters arrive in New York City in 1960 to find a life far different from the genteel existence of maids, manicures and extended family they left behind. As they plunge headfirst into the freewheeling American mainstream with its dizzying choices and challenges, they remain forever caught between the old world and the new. What they have lost — and gained — is revealed in this provocative story bursting with passion.
 
How the García Girls Lost their Accents was picked by NY Librarians as one of 21 classics for 21st century, including The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank; The Elements of Style by William Strunk and E.B. White; Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Marquez; Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison; and The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston (September 13, 1999).
