Goodman Theatre Playwrights Unit Commission. "My father said: don't ever write about me." Güera, a young pocha, is trying very hard to be a perfect Mexican daughter. At least when Papi is around and Mami is looking. The hot Chicago summer has her climbing trees, fighting with her brothers, and melting like a paleta under her parents’ discerning rules. Suddenly, Abuelo moves in and Güera wonders if she really has to be perfect at all? Why be perfect when you can be free?
