Occasionally, Gaby writes plays. Occasionally, Gaby writes reviews…

Hermana Blank(a)

“When I was born, I had a full head of thick, black hair. A few months later, it all fell out and grew back cornsilk blonde.
It was as if my body knew my life would be easier if I was white-passing? (It wasn’t wrong!)
But it was like a part of me disappeared. ‘Out of sight. Out of mind…’”

In this one person show, Gaby Labotka explores the alienation and responsibilities of family, culture, and identity while being a "white person of color," specifically as a white Puerto Rican.
