Anne García-Romero

Her work has been greatly influenced by her ethnic and cultural background, as many of her plays deal with issues affecting both Anglo and Latino communities.

[1] She also translates plays from Spanish to English, to make theatrical works from Spain and Latin America available to U.S. audiences.

García-Romero is also an alumna of New Dramatists in New York City, which is an organization that specifically supports and provides resources to talented playwrights.

[4] Playwright Octavio Solis reflects on her plays in this book, "Anne writes the stories we had always known by heart but had forgotten.

"[4] Anne García-Romero works with the organization HowlRound as a co-founder of the Latinx Theatre Commons and their initiative The Fornés Institute.

"[5] Much of Anne García-Romero's work is to counter these mainstream, stereotypical, dominant narratives through a retelling of what it means to be Latin in the United States.

García-Romero builds upon prior of studies about Fornes' work, such as Fornés: Theater in the Present Tense by Diana Lynn Moroff (1996) and Conducting a Life: Reflections on the Life of María Irene Fornés edited by Maria Delgado and Caridad Svich (1999).
