Written by Erlina Ortiz

Directed by Tatyana-Marie Carlo

A Philadelphia Premiere

Josefina is a stand-up comic from Philadelphia coming to terms with the recent death of her mother, as well as her sister’s sudden illness, just as her comedy career is taking off. Written by Philadelphia’s own Erlina Ortiz, Co-Artistic Director of Power Street Theatre, this funny and touching new play features sidesplitting stand-up as it explores sisterhood, caregiving, and the search for balance between career and family. La Egoísta is a comedy about being selfish in pursuit of your dreams but selfless with the people you love. Winner of the National Latine Playwrights Award. A Philadelphia premiere.
