An Afternoon with Josefina López

Award winning playwright Josefina López will be in San Diego on April 11, 2026 for a one-day speaking engagement at Point Loma Nazarene University. One year after her Broadway debut of the musical “Real Women Have Curves” (April 27, 2025, at the James Earl Jones Theatre), Josefina invites the local community of students, educators, and theatre artists to learn about her artistic journey and passion for arts education – especially for underprivileged youth.

This special engagement marks a meaningful moment for San Diego’s arts community, bringing one of the nation’s most influential Latina playwrights back to the city where her journey began.

Her visit offers a rare opportunity to learn from a groundbreaking artist whose work has reshaped American theatre. Her story serves as a reminder that when young people are given the tools to tell their stories, entire communities are strengthened.
