If you had to leave tomorrow, what would you pack?

Seemingly on her own, a “Diva” searches for her belongings among piles of suitcases in a baggage claim. What she finds: a tricycle, raincoats, the Mona Lisa, and human bones….

Written in 1975 in Argentina, anticipating the military coup that instate a dictator, this monologue by comedic feminist Diana Razónvich satirizes political detention and exile.
“Personal Belongings”, a bilingual play directed by Dr. Sarah Hart, takes audiences through a whirlwind of tragic, absurd events, as “DIVA” (Amanda Sobrado) loses her sense of place and self – is she coming or going?

Come to this one-act to see if she can find her belonging(s).
