"Our Lady of the Sacred Part" was written by Marina DeYoe-Pedraza last fall for Austin Puppet Incident (an annual puppetry festival here in Austin). She made a joke in rehearsal about her bruja powers to get women onto her menstruation cycle, her housemate pitched it to Glass Half Full Theatre, and now there is a play! "Our Lady of the Sacred Part" explores feminism through the perspectives of objects that women use or own. These objects unknown to us have emulated the Catholic church, and created a whole religion around the vulvas they serve. Welcome to the Church of Our Lady of the Sacred Part, please participate to the best that you are able.

Marina DeYoe-Pedraza is an Ohio-Rican raised in the Rio Grande Valley. Marina graduated from Hofstra University with a BFA in Performance. Since college, Marina has lived in Austin for the past five years performing as an actor, dancer, and puppeteer. She is a company member of Salvage Vanguard Theatre, Glass Half Full Theatre, and Ballet East. Her performance in Las Aventuras de Enoughie earned her a B.Iden Payne for best actor in a Children's Show. She played Virginia in Trouble Puppet's production of "American Blood Song" nominated for B.Iden Payne award for best puppetry, and she just played Muerte in Scottish Rite's 2019 production of "Rosita y Conchita."
