Sancocho presented by Visión Latino Theater Company at Windy City Playhouse

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...Two-hander plays starring Latinas are having a moment in this year’s Destinos, the fifth annual Chicago International Latino Theater Festival."Among the festival’s 13 productions are Teatro Vista’s “Enough to Let the Light In,” a psychological thriller about two women in love, and American Blues Theater’s “Alma,” a tender mother-daughter drama. In Visión Latino Theatre Company’s “Sancocho,” the latest Destinos show to focus on female relationships, two sisters cook a family recipe together as their conversation meanders through shared memories, past traumas and long-held secrets.

"...If you don’t speak Spanish, don’t worry/no te preocupes. You might miss a few jokes (though they are good ones) or comments, but you will understand. A two-hander set in a Puerto Rican household, where the actors are literally preparing food, should live in multilingualism. Frankly, it made the sancocho smell aun mejor."
