Tell Me Your Name

Written and Performed by Irma Herrera
Directed by David Ford
Produced by Mary Ann Rodgers

When Irma Herrera says her name, people she first meets often assume she's a foreigner never mind that the native English speaker's family has been in South Texas for generations, or that she is an award-winning lawyer, social justice activista, and journalist.

Tell Me Your Name is one woman's journey from a segregated South Texas town to the Bay Area's multicultural mecca. What part of Irma's identity is she asked to give up for the sake of fitting in and getting along? How can a simple introduction turn into a potential battle to be heard and seen? Weaving history and comedic insights into stories about names, this solo performer invites us to consider how open and welcoming we really are.

Written and performed by Irma Herrera, and directed by Marsh MVP David Ford, don't miss your chance to see this North Bay premiere! Visit rossvalleyplayers.com/tell-me-your-name for more information.
