Real Women Have Curves
by Classic Theatre of San Antonio

Sep. 05 - Oct. 05

 San Pedro Playhouse and Classic Theatre kick off their 2025/26 Season — The Rest is HERstory, with Real Women Have Curves—the original play by award-winning playwright and screenwriter Josefina López. Running September 4 through October 5 at Classic Theatre and directed by Amelia Rico, this heartfelt and empowering coming-of-age story is a rich, character-driven play that celebrates culture, resilience, and self-acceptance. Set in a small sewing factory, five Latina women navigate body image, family pressures, and personal dreams—revealing the power of sisterhood and the strength found in embracing one's true self. 

 

Director Amelia Rico adds, “It is a great privilege to bring Josefina Lopez's play to life during this time when hardworking immigrants live in fear while they work hard to build a better future for their children for less than minimum wage. Real Women Have Curves encompasses the Latino experience of hardship and perseverance wrapped in joy. Whether by blood or chosen, family is always number one and no matter what happens, there's always enough time in the day for a good story and a laugh. In my take on this much beloved story there will be an extra layer of self discovery and shedding of societal expectations. I look forward to really digging in and collaborating with my design team and cast to bring a new twist to this comedic classic.”

 

Honest, humorous, and deeply human, Real Women Have Curves is a moving tribute to identity, community, and the curves that shape our lives.

 

The 2025-26 Season of HERstory is proudly sponsored by Kronkosky Charitable Foundation.
