We have all heard the concept of
mail-order brides, yet it isn’t real until we experience their true stories and
share the hope, and pain of the brides. Erica Miguel's, Carolyn
Antonio's and Dorotea Mendoza's EXPORT QUALITY allows
us to do that. Through talented acting, clever staging, and poignant
dialog, these actors take us deeply into their heads and hearts. We admired
their courage and determination to make a better life for themselves and their
families, watching them become more disheartened as exploitation becomes their
reality and their lives slip further and further from the promise.
