LATINA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL is about 3 great friends that have a holiday get-together that includes plenty of tequila and stories of childhood "Christmas Dramas." Every ethnicity will relate to the feeling that their parents and families are a little “freaky” during the holidays when compared to the traditional Christmases fed to us on TV. We show you with our personal tales that every family has its own hilarious peculiarities, that everyone wants to belong, and that every one, regardless of their heritage, has a hard time at some point in their life and survives.

Warning: LATINA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL contains a bit of strong language, adult situations and drinking; recommended for ages 13 and up, parental guidance is suggested.

---

Bursting with laughs, more laughs, music and escándalo (scandal), it's the Off-Broadway comedy hit starring three hilarious Latinas!

Together, Sandra Valls (Showtime’s “Latin Divas of Comedy”), a Mexican American from Laredo, Texas, Diana Yanez (“Margaret Cho’s SensuousWoman”), a Cuban American from Miami, and Maria Russell (TruTV’s “Tacoma FD”), a “Valley Girl” (no really, like, for reals, -- like, “gag me with a spoon!”) the daughter of an over-dedicated Mexican mother and compliant Lithuanian father, tell the tales that make them uniquely American, undoubtedly Latina, and most of all, friends.

Every ethnicity can relate to the feeling that their parents and families are a little “freaky” during the holidays when compared to the traditional American Christmases fed to us on TV. These three ladies show us with their personal tales that every family has its own hilarious peculiarities, everyone wants to belong, and every one, regardless of their heritage, has a hard time at some point in their life.

Directed by Geoffrey Rivas, LATINA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL is a hybrid comedy performance which in itself has three original mini one-woman shows.

"CRITICS' CHOICE! ... A twist on Dickens! Hilarious and heart wrenching... (a) very special 'Special.'
-- LOS ANGELES TIMES

"An instant holiday tradition!"
-- ALEGRIA MAGAZINE

"... a universally heartfelt, hilarious, and insightful show."
-- NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"... TOP SHOWS ...add a little spice in your eggnog!"
-- TIME OUT MAGAZINE - NEW YORK

"Think tequila, music, laughs and Feliz Navidad... my personal year-end favorite."
-- NYC'S ORIGINAL CITY GUIDE
