We have all heard the concept of mail-order brides, yet it isn’t real until we experience their true stories and share the hope, and pain of the brides. Erica Miguel's, Carolyn Antonio's and Dorotea Mendoza's EXPORT QUALITY allows us to do that.  Through talented acting, clever staging, and poignant dialog, these actors take us deeply into their heads and hearts. We admired their courage and determination to make a better life for themselves and their families, watching them become more disheartened as exploitation becomes their reality and their lives slip further and further from the promise.
