Real Women Have Curves

Five "Full-Figured" Women Take Center Stage At LaBelle Theater

LABELLE, FL. -- LaBelle's Firehouse Community Theatre presents Real Women Have Curves written by Josefina Lopez and directed by Joel Hawkins beginning January 10th. 

Set in a tiny sewing factory in East L.A., this is the outrageously funny story of five full-figured Mexican-American women who are racing to meet nearly impossible production deadlines in order to keep their tiny factory from going under. 

A microcosm of the Latina immigrant experience, Real Women Have Curves is a play that celebrates real women's bodies, the power of women and the incredible bond that happens when women work together.
