COMING SOON!
Love, survival and forgiveness take center stage in the tense, new drama, THE TRAGEDY AND THE RAINBOW. Utuado Puerto Rico is where we lay our story and Hurricane Maria becomes the backdrop for a family trying to overcome the storm of a lifetime. 67-year-old Abuelo, his daughter Mita and his 16-year-old granddaughter Sophia meet the challenge of their life when a stranger from the past is blown into their yard by chance.
Running time: 90 minutes Language: English Equity Showcase
In the last 12 years we've brought you GROWING UP GONZALES, SOY CHRIS, PAPI'S PROMISE, EL CONDE Y LA CONDESA, THE MAN NEXT DOOR, THE NATIONAL IMPROV LEAGUE, A DAY IN THE CRIB and CRECIENDO CON LOS GONZALES. Our shows have played at LEHMAN COLLEGE, THE POET'S DEN THEATER, PREGONES, THE NUYORICAN POET'S CAFE, TATO LAVIERA THEATER, THE BROADWAY COMEDY CLUB, THE JERRY ORBACH THEATER, THE ACTORS TEMPLE, TEATRO TAPIA and TEATRO YAGUEZ. We've traveled to TIMES SQUARE, THE BRONX, PENNSYLVANIA, SAN JUAN, MAYAGUEZ, MIAMI, CONNECTICUT and THE WINDY CITY. Our work represents a generation of NUYORICANS who cherished and valued family and friends. We sat around Christmas trees on December 25th, drank Bacardi on New Years Eve. We're Puerto Rican, American and Nuyorican, we have families that love the shit out of us, we were Spics but not anymore, we like pasteles and hamburger platters, we're just as comfortable in a guayabera as a cardigan, we speak Spanish, Spanglish and perfect English and boy, do we love to dance! We're here to tell our stories and since we don't have a rich uncle, we can't do it without you. Our narrative is our narrative. Give to our story, as much or as little as you can. Thank you, gracia and that's what's up! Click on the donate button today.
