She is a playwright, actress and educator, and is the recipient of the 2019 elliot norton award (boston theatre critics assoc.) for sustained excellence. She is currently the artist-in-residence at the Huntington theatre co, boston, and was the inaugural Mellon foundation playwright-in-residence, 2013-2019. She is a professor of the practice at northeastern university, and teaches playwriting at the Boston University, playwriting mfa program. Ms. Lopez is active in the Cuban-American community and makes her home in Boston. Most recently, her play mala was presented in both spanish and english (amazing yadira correa performing in spanish) and toured to venues in mexico and the san diego community, as well as graced the sheryl and harvey white theatre at the old globe.
