Isaac Gómez s THE WAY SHE SPOKE is set to make its Wisconsin premiere as part of the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre s (MCT) Virtually Re-Imagined Season. The production will be released on March 16th, 2021 via the MCT website, milwaukeechambertheatre.org.
THE WAY SHE SPOKE is a haunting, visceral piece that digs for the roots of an epidemic of violence that has resulted in the murders of thousands of women and gives voice to a community rendered silent by fear. Michelle Lopez-Rios returned to Milwaukee for this powerful one-woman performance that blurs reality as she shares harrowing details of the fates of las desaparecidas, the vanished women of Ciudad Juárez.
