Beheading Columbus
Saturday, October 14, 2023 @ 3:00 pm
BEHEADING COLUMBUS follows two sisters down a trail of DNA deception and makes them face race and colorism in the Latinx community and in their own family. Lana looks white, Susi doesn’t and that has been a point of conflict their whole life. Through DNA testing they discover that Lana has a white father. The DNA test also reveals that Susi, who is mixed race, has genes for the Alzheimer’s that are destroying their mother. Add to that, they discover that the previously unknown other father is a fertility doctor who has sired at least 40 mixed race children. Through love and a massive sense of humor, the sisters work at decolonializing themselves from the inside out.
This staged reading of features Andréa Morales, Sommer McGuire, Roniece Hutchins, Robb Willoughby, and Connor Gray and is directed by Annie Pesch.
BEHEADING COLUMBUS was written by award-winning playwright Diana Burbano and is part of the Magnolia Theatre Company’s Femme Artisan Staged Reading Series, funded by the Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District.
