Read below the UNCENSORED Q&A con Veronica Serrano, screenwriter of "Las Super Marias" premiering in Teatro LHDC's Spring 2010 performance. Check it out!
Teatro LHDC: Fans of Teatro Los Hijos del Campo are familiar with your works, from Super Chicanita Nopalera to Compitas. How long have you been writing skits?
Veronica Serrano: Ive been writing skits ever since I joined teatro los hijos del campo, so like since 2006.
T LHDC: What brought you into the crazy, hectic, exciting world of screenwriting and directing?
VS: I LOVE to entertain! Especially make people laugh! And if I can promote social change while I'm at it, hasta mejor;)
Where does your inspiration come from?
VS: My inspiration usually comes from injusticias I see that make me mad. I want to call attention to them so the rest of the people know about them and try to do something about it. Besides that everything in our cultura is pretty good inspiration, from la lucha libre to los naco de Mexico City, to beans, and guaraches.
What genres do you prefer? What genre(s) are the most challenging and/or rewarding to write?
VS: Commedy definitly! It can be tough to make people laugh, in your head you might think something is funny, but you never really know untill you share it with others. When you hear the audience laugh at something you wrote it's just an ultimate high.
T LHDC: Tell us a little more about what to expect from "Las Super Marias"?
VS: From the Super Marias, the audience can expect strong women characters, all my super heroes are always mujeres;) And to pee their pants laughing! Hopefully a bit of inspiration and motivation to act.
T LHDC: What should fans of Teatro LHDC be looking for in the near future from you? Any teasers, hints?
VS: Hijole, I don't even know what's coming up next. Haver que me inspira in the summer.
T LHDC: Thanks for your time, Vero!
