The Winged Man Drama Directed by: Marya Mazor In this work of Magical Realism, the only thing we know for certain is that Daysi, a Latina high school girl, is pregnant. Is the conception the son of a mystical winged man, as Daysi insists? Or the result of a one-night stand, as the girl’s mother claims?

With Ana Ortiz, Shalim Ortiz, Marta McGonagle and Tiffany Hines.
