Representation, The Industry, and more with Sofía Palmero!

This week we have the pleasure of interviewing queer Latina actress and writer Sofía Palmero. Sofía is an actor, writer, dramaturg, and director in Atlanta, GA. You might have seen her in Out Front Theatre’s Bull in a China Shop, Vernal And Sere Theatre’s Spirits to Enforce, or Shakespeare on Draught’s Henry IV & V. On screen, you can see her in the musical short Sonorous. She was featured in the AJC as a “Playwright to Watch in 2020.” Her short plays, Harina Pan and Primavera premiered at the Latinas in Media Atlanta Showcase (2018 and 2019). Another short piece, To Build a Home, was featured in Aurora Theatre’s Festival de Microteatro. Most recently, the full length iteration of Harina Pan was selected for development through the Table Series with Working Title Playwrights. In her work, Sofia explores queerness, Latinidad, and what it means to connect meaningfully. Within and outside her work, Sofia fights to empower marginalized artists to share their stories and challenge conceptions of what the world does, and could, look like. She also starred in @erikfranciscomedina 's thesis film @sonorousthemusical.⁠  Sofía’s Instagram: @sofia_withanf  Host Instagram: @mahalialatortue  Co-Host Instagram: @erikfranciscomedina  Producer & Audio Engineer: @paksanity2
