Synopsis: As a non-Spanish-speaking Latinx actress from the Bronx, Samantha (aka Sam) struggles to fit into Hollywood’s narrow standards of beauty and ethnicity. When she auditions for the role of Anita in the Off-Broadway rendition of West Side Story, she delivers a cringe-worthy monologue with a noticeably fake Spanish accent, “Antonio! What kind of fool do you take me for?” She botches it, and the director, Ivonne Salaberrios, calls her out. But Ivonne sees the potential in Sam and gives her one last chance to deliver an authentic performance. What ensues is an emotional rollercoaster ride of narcissists and F-Boys, as Sam gets to the root of what it means to be your true authentic self.
