Las Borinqueñas 

Las Borinqueñas written by Nelson Diaz-Marcano and directed by Rebecca Aparicio has been extended to May 5th. Now at Ensemble Studio Theatre (EST)  located at 545 West 52nd Street (between 10th and 11th). 

It’s the 1950's in Puerto Rico and María, Fernanda, Yolanda, Rosa, and Chavela are fighting to live full lives in a changing country with crushing societal rules for women. In the United States, Dr. Gregory Pincus is on the verge of perfecting a miracle that could give them freedom - if only he could find test subjects to participate in preliminary trials. This is the story of the birth control pill and the women who risked everything for the chance to live free.
