On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud, #RachelLaLoca chats virtually with Actress, Director, Playwright and Director of Marketing for The Actor's Gang in Los Angeles, Mariana Da Silva. The two talk about the new bilingual play she wrote, directs and stars in, Ybor City--a project with real purpose. In the heart of Ybor City, a mysterious entity begins to influence the reader system used in the cigar factories, leading to the education of workers and rising tensions in the workplace. Following a shocking death in one of the factories, Nena, a grieving employee, emerges as the first female reader and reluctant leader of a revolutionary movement.

Under the artistic direction of Academy Award-winner Tim Robbins, The Actor's Gang presents new, unconventional and uncompromising plays and dynamic reinterpretations of the classics, to restore the ancient sense of the stage as a shared sacred space, to introduce theater to children and help them find their own creative voices, to bring the freedom of self-expression to the incarcerated.
