Something from Abroad
Company Mission
Something from Abroad produces material from a variety of cultural backgrounds to bring stories from abroad and give them a voice in today’s America. We are a theater company started by a couple of “broads” from abroad. We are proud to promote original art created by women.
Our mission is to provide an opportunity for actors from all over the world to perform on a stage in New York. We tell the stories of our people and our struggles as immigrants. We embrace the differences that an international ensemble brings to the table, and we make this diversity our strength.
The name Something from Abroad is a wordplay. The company was started by a couple of “Broads” from “Abroad”.
We came from different backgrounds; we had people from Boston, Canada, Colombia, Connecticut, Croatia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and Tennessee. Our diversity was our strength, and we had one thing in common, we all said LET’S DO IT!
Production History
We have been self producing our work since 2016 with the help of Frigid. Most of our work is original with some adaptations from classics. We perform in Spanish with subtitles, Spanglish and English.
