Anne García-Romero is a playwright, screenwriter, scholar, and professor.
Early life
Anne García-Romero was born to a mother of English, Irish and German descent and a father from
García-Romero has taught at universities such as University of Southern California, California Institute of the Arts, Loyola Marymount University, Macalester College and Wesleyan University. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Film, Television and Theatre at The University of Notre Dame.[2] Some of the courses that she teaches are Playwriting, Script Analysis, and Story Structure.[3]
García-Romero’s book, Anne García-Romero: Collected Plays, includes Santa Concepción, Earthquake Chica, and Mary Peabody in Cuba.[4] Latinx playwright Octavio Solis reflects on her plays in this book, “Anne writes the stories we had always known by heart but had forgotten. With a purity at once spare and rich, she creates characters we not only feel we have broken bread with, but who have been in our dreams and crises.”[4]
Anne García-Romero works with the organization HowlRound as a co-founder of the Latinx Theatre Commons and their initiative The Fornés Institute. [5] This includes a large network of other Latinx/e artists who advocate for the Latinx/e Theater community at large. García-Romero has written essays for their journal, Café Onda.[5] In one of her essays, she writes, “US culture in the twenty-first century continues to move from a mono-cultural to a multi-cultural experience. However, US theatre currently does not always reflect this reality and therefore can perpetuate an outdated narrative.”[5] Much of Anne García-Romero's work is to counter these mainstream, stereotypical, dominant narratives through a retelling of what it means to be a Latinx/e in the United States.
