Mallory’s desire in casting is “to include a variety of body types and ages of women involved in order to emphasize the importance of representation of Hispanic women in all communities and bring a unique sense of authenticity to the show.”

Real Women Have Curves is set in a tiny sewing factory in East Los Angeles in September 1987. It is marked by the issues of gender politics and the Latina immigrant experience. The story is told from the point of view of Ana, the youngest employee at the factory. Ambitious and bright, Ana yearns to go to college, but does not have the money. The action follows the course of a week at the factory, as the women talk about their lives, loves and deepest desires while attempting to meet impossible production deadlines. Within that week at the factory, the woman face many challenges such as the U. S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (“La Migra”), troubles with their husbands and other male characters mentioned in the play, judgement from other characters, as well as yearning for dreams that do not seem possible to fulfill.
