La Gringa by Carmen Rivera

Carmen Rivera's celebrated play celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026! La Gringa follows a young Puerto Rican-American woman from New York on her journey to Puerto Rico to connect with her roots, only to realize that true belonging and cultural identity are matters of the heart and spirit rather than geography. Presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
Funny, heartfelt, and deeply personal, La Gringa explores family, language, heritage, and the universal search for belonging. Three decades after its premiere, Rivera's celebrated play continues to resonate with audiences navigating questions of culture and identity.

Experience Theatre Projects (ETP), Pacific Northwest's only professional immersive theater company, will invite audiences to question what they know and what they only think they know with its 2026-2027 season themed Echoes & Illusions. Spanning classic mystery, theatrical magic, cultural identity, irreverent comedy, and dystopian suspense, this season explores the stories we tell ourselves, the memories that define us, and the illusions that shape our reality.
