Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme empowers Latinas by giving them the tools to develop new creative works. Each of the playwrights also takes on the role of director and associate producer, making it an entirely Latina driven production.
Chicanas, Cholas, y Chisme is produced by Claudia Duran and Rocio Diaz.
