Reviews for Learn to be Latina, by Enrique Urueta
Mixed Blood Theatre, Minneapolis!

Minneapolis Star Tribune...
"...outrageous and laugh-out-loud funny"

St. Paul Pioneer Press
"What makes this show a little different is the over-the-top way that it smacks the theme upside the head..."

Aisle Say Twin Cities
"...the-character-you-love-to-hate, the fierce Mary O-Malley, played by Ivey Award winner Aditi Kapil"

Twin Cities Metro
"Kapil makes Mary into an Irish Disney villian character of epic proportions, who will terrify you and have you laughing like no other"
