At least three area theater companies in Connecticut are showcasing work by Latinx women playwrights this winter:

• "Water by the Spoonful" by Quiara Alegría Hudes at Capitol Classics from Jan. 25 to Jan. 29
• "Queen of Basel" by Hilary Bettis at TheaterWorks Feb. 3 to Feb. 26
• "Espejos: Clean" by Christine Quintana at Hartford Stage Jan. 12 to March 5

"Queen of Basel" boasts an all-Latinx cast and crew, while "Espejos: Clean" is a bilingual production with supertitles projected over the stage.

This hour, we go behind-the-scenes with playwrights, directors and actors, hearing about each powerful production, and the importance of spotlighting Latinx stories where we live.

GUESTS:

• Hilary Bettis: Playwright, "Queen of Basel"
• Cristina Angeles: Director, "Queen of Basel" at TheaterWorks
• Cin Martinez: Playwright; Actor, "Water by the Spoonful" at Capitol Classics
