Little Girl's Don't Do That
by Liz Coronado Castillo
I discovered "Little Girl's Don't Do That" during the American College Theater Festival. The production provoked laughter and tears. It made you think. I wanted to bring this play home. So, I did. The play shifts between stand up comedy, dreams, and vivid childhood memories. What don't little girls do? They don't play sports. They don't lose their virginity. They don't like girls, in that way. They don't tell that they are victims of sexual molestation. Of course, none of that's true. This powerful coming of age play deconstructs gender, culture, sexuality, and religion. It's a powerful play. One I feel honored to have directed at the University of New Mexico.
I encourage you to explore the work of Liz Coronado Castillo.
