Once upon a time in a traditional fishing village along the Amazon River, two sisters struggle to find their happily ever after.  Inspired by Brazilian folklore about river dolphins who come ashore for three days to seduce women, The River Bride is the 2013 co-winner of the National Latino Playwriting Award.
