When Gabriela dies suddenly, her grown children Rita, Lucía, and Georgy battle for ownership of her final pot of frijoles. As the siblings quarrel, a series of frijol-guides manifests from the humble Country Crock container, provoking them to re-examine their identity, privilege and Latinidad. In the end, Rita, Lucía, and Georgy discover the richness of familia where they least expect it.

    I quite enjoyed this spin on the classic situation of siblings reconciling after the death of a parent. The poetic image of the frijole beans and the memories that emerge from the family fridge serve the play wonderfully, and its genuinely funny.
