* EVITA > En Pre-estrenos > Teatro Marquis > EVITA.
Eva Perón utilizó su inteligencia y carisma para ascender
rápidamente desde un tugurio de Argentina hasta la residencia
presidencial como Primera Dama. Adorada por su pueblo como la abanderada
de los humildes, se convirtió en una de las mujeres más poderosas del
mundo, mientras que su codicia, descomunal ambición y frágil salud la
convirtieron en la más trágica. EVITA cuenta la apasionada e
inolvidable historia verídica de Eva, y nos deleita con algunas de las
canciones más hermosas del teatro, como "Don't Cry for Me Argentina,"
"Another Suitcase in Another Hall" y "High Flying, Adored."

This is one of García Lorca’s most elaborate, challenging and least
produced plays. It invites the audience to reflect on themes of
emotions, pride, sex and gender, as relevant today as when García Lorca
wrote the play in 1931, precisely five years before his death.
* Mariela En El Desierto > Nueva Producción >> Marzo 2, 4, 11, 18 y 24 >> Repertorio Español.

Mariela
and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artist
inner-circle. Together they built a family and an artist colony to host
friends like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Rufino Tamayo. But now their
daughter has grown and run away, Frida and Diego are too famous to
call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and
mendacity. Set in an empty artists’ colony in the Mexican desert in
1950, this mystery play reveals what happens to relationships when a
long hidden family lie is exposed.
* En El Tiempo De Las Mariposas > Marzo 3 al 6, 10 >> En Repertorio Español.

“In The Time of the Butterflies” is the story of the courageous Mirabal
sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic.
The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the
dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’,
their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960.
Based on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, the martyred butterflies come to vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production by the talented duo – playwright Caridad Svich and director José Zayas– that brought us the critically acclaimed production of Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits” in 2009.

* Growing Up González > One man show by Felix Rojas >> Ends March 31 > The Jan Hus Playhouse >> GROWING.
The play is a bittersweet comedy of two brothers growing up in the Puerto Rican section of the Bronx, whose coming of age is marked by the untimely death of their father. One actor plays both parts. The play is filled with the hearty characters, flavors and textures of The Bronx in the 70's and displays a very witty understanding of life.

TERESA’S ECSTASY will challenge beliefs in politics, religion, sexuality and what it means to be alive in this multi-cultural world in which we live. It is funny, thought-provoking and deeply moving.

When you're alone in a big city, how far would you go to make a new friend? Two neighbors. One works by night, the other by day. One enjoys literature, the other enjoys model trains and tinkering with broken objects. They seem to have little in common, until they run into each other in a local café. Only this is no coincidence: one of them has been planning this moment for a very, very, very long time. This encounter leads them into a game of power that changes their relationship forever.
Brimming with dark humor, Nocturnal Creatures depicts a world of profound loneliness and alienation. The international press has raved about the play, and Dave Jordan from WHAT’S ON STAGE (London) described it as “Pinter meets Ionesco in this absorbing, disturbing, darkly comic tale of fear, anxiety and manipulation."

Un espectáculo que mezcla música con pecados capitales, humor y vino, una sacudida teatral que ha levantado el aplauso de público y crítica.
