CASA 0101 Theater's World Premiere production of DRUNK GIRL, part the theater's 15th "Quinceañera" Anniversary Season, is currently receiving critical acclaim. LA Weekly wrote: "Involving 83 characters, nine actors and three directors, squeezed into a breathless 98 minutes...The tone of these pieces - defiant, resilient, refusing to speak in the hushed voices of victims - is admirable...." East Los Angeles College's Campus News wrote: "The stories were told boldly and captivated the audience. The show opened with the wildly hilarious 'Red Flag Game Show' and closed on a musical note with 'Yes, Let's Have Sex.'" www.vivasalsera.com wrote: "The show is only an hour and a half long (no intermission) moving quickly from one scene to the next, bringing equally along moments of laughter, emotion, and thoughtfulness...I recommend that you check it out and bring your late teens and early 20-year-old sons and daughters with you."
