DESCRIPTION:Written and performed by Adelina Anthony and featuring the fresh stand-up 
 comic, Coral Lopez, it's an 8 p.m. one-night stand not to be missed!  
 February 15, 2006 (Santa Cruz, CA) - "Mastering Sex & Tortillas!" a very 
 sexy comedy exploring sexuality, race, gender, and immigration through a 
 Queer Chicana lens.  In "Mastering Sex & Tortillas!" Adelina Anthony plays 
 La Profesora Mama Chocha a high-femme and high-drama seminar instructor who 
 offers a "public service" and more than educates her audience on lesbianism 
 101 from a "tortillera" point of view. After intermission Anthony comes 
 back as the debonair FBI Agent, Papi Duro, who has plenty of work to do  
 "under the covers."  Coral Lopez gets the audience geared up for a night of 
 provocative comedy by opening the show with her own scandalous stand-up 
 comedy that tackles the gamut of sexuality, Latina/o home life, and 
 cultural taboos.  Lopez also makes a cameo appearance as the risqué Sex 
 Bomb, a foil to Papi Duro's endless pursuit of happiness with other women.  
  Anthony's quick wit and genuine moments of audience interaction and improv 
 keep the show fresh and unique.  Anthony's professional background as a 
 talented stage actor have garnered her several Best Actress nominations.  
 As a writer she is featured in Best American Erotica 2002 edited by Susie 
 Bright.  Anthony has also performed stand-up comedy at the Ice House in 
 Pasadena and co-hosted the Los Angeles Dyke March with Lopez (her partner 
 in life and comedy!).  Both artists were nominated as outstanding Queer 
 community activist in 2002 by Tentaciones Magazines in Los Angeles.  
 Currently Anthony teaches Chicana/o Theatre at UC Berkeley and has worked 
 intensely with her mentor, Cherríe Moraga, the last two years while at 
 Stanford University.    This one night performance is free of charge, but 
 will require tickets.  Tickets are available at:   El Centro: Chicano
