DESCRIPTION:“Karen Anzoategui herself is what makes Ser a standout piece” - Wide 
 Lantern.\n \n“Love Karen's enthusiasm and energy! Coupled with a unique 
 ability to set proper words against "improper" words allowing true 
 musicality of poetry to pour from her soul. Karen is a writer who just so 
 happens to perform what she writes. Her "play" might be a revelation and 
 change the way we look at solo theater.” - Reg E. Gaines, Artistic 
 Director/2011 NYC Downtown Urban Theater Festival\n \nAnzoategui has 
 performed in the Hollywood Fringe, the New Latino Works Festival at 
 Highways and at The Mache Theatre in West Hollywood in 2011 to sold-out 
 audiences and to standing ovation crowds. She was then chosen as a finalist 
 to perform at the Downtown Urban Theatre Festival in New York City’s 
 prestigious festival inside the Here Arts Center. Karen stands out with her 
 unique story and performance chops that caught the attention of Reg E. 
 Gaines (book and lyrics, Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk) who served as 
 her dramaturge for the Hollywood Fringe Festival. After he saw Karen’s 
 work he immediately wanted to work with her. Karen wowed crowds at Highways 
 on September 30th with 4X4: New Latino Works Festival presented by Leo 
 Garcia and caused a stir in the heart of West Hollywood at the Macha 
 Theatre in November, 2011. Karen kick-started 2012 by participating as a 
 keynote performer for Arizona State University’s Local to Global 
 Justice’s teach-in in February.\n \nAnzoategui’s show is a seamless 
 delight of her personal story woven through Argentina’s history of 
 crises, using clever theatrical strategies such as casting James Brown in 
 the role of her abusive father (off-the-charts-funny!). Soccer fanaticism, 
 sexual identity, political repression and economic collapse. “Ser” is a 
 unique story of the dilemmas of a transnational Latino experience that 
 doesn’t get more real and more fun than this. Don’t miss the 6,000 mile 
 match.\n \nDirected by Che'Rae Adams for original direction and dramaturgy.
