It’s Feminist heaven for both of them, ‘til they fall in love.
CHELA: Her Third Husband, Her First Orgasm
Orgasming is something CHELA does when she’s bored. At least that’s what she tells the handy man that just gave her, her first orgasm, which she so innocently mistakes for peeing on herself. And although asking this man to sleep with her isn’t the most ethical way for this married woman to sexually heal, it is a major stepping-stone for this domestic violence survivor. CHELA, based on a true story of love, lunacy, and violence, is an intimate staged biography written and performed by her daughter, Dulce Maria Solis.
“It’s a harrowing journey, lightened by just enough humor and the kind of ending you’re hoping for.”

“Funny and intense…” “Empowering…” “You have forever changed my life.” --from audience letters to Dulce
“…noble and compassionate…”

contemporary theatre and a catalyst in reviving the genre to a whole new set of
audiences.” Lorenzo

"...Chela is a story about deliverance; and Solis has a play on her hands that is empowering to any woman..."
