I’m thrilled and honored be part of this story. I was cast as Rosario in the play, “Not in Kansas,” written by playwright Lauren Lola.

“Not in Kansas” follows two PhD students from the Philippines studying in the United States in the early 1950’s. While making a trip down to New Orleans, they encounter the opposite of Southern hospitality at a rest stop in Mississippi. This story is inspired by a few of many experiences of Lauren Lola’s great aunt, who actually was confronted by a sheriff in the Jim Crow South, for drinking out of a colored only water fountain.
