On this episode of the Yay, Norman and I bring on sisters Sheila and Anita Viramontes. Both ladies are actresses and singers. Anita just finished doing Once On This Island at the Contra Costa County Theatre, and Sheila and I shared the stage (Town Hall Theatre) doing Women On The Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. The Viramontes sisters talk about their upbringing, bellydancing, singing and acting around the Bay Area and their plans for the future.
SHOUTOUTS!!
