Teatro Luna playwright Tanya Saracho is drawn to 'people's darkness'
chicagotribune.com: "For 10 years, the women of Teatro Luna have created the kind of exuberant autobiographical shows that are now firmly the domain of the young, attractive and fashion forward -- in which frank conversations about love and sexual mishaps go hand-in-hand with stories about blended cultural identities and contradictory insecurities that make up the Latina experience.Perhaps the strongest voice to emerge from the ensemble is 32-yeard-old co-founder Tanya Saracho, a major playwriting talent who recently snagged commissions from the Goodman and Steppenwolf."

She specifically selected the young women population when she put a sex in the city twist on a few of her plays appealing to the young working girl populace.
