LO NUEVO EN NYC
Una
mirada a la vida americana moderna desde la perspectiva de una familia
puertorriqueña. Un joven recientemente graduado de la universidad que se
siente alienado por su extravagante familia, hace planes para aceptar
un trabajo de periodismo en Turquía. Sus padres, sin embargo, tienen
planes diferentes para él, y durante un viaje a un casino al norte del
estado de Nueva York para celebrar su graduación y su cumpleaños número
21, se desata toda la controversia cuando miembros de la familia se
encuentran en desacuerdo sobre si deben apoyar o no su decisión.
Obra ganadora de la Competencia de Obras Latinas Nuestras Voces 2011 auspiciada por la Fundación MetLife.
* NEON BABY > Pregones Theater > Hasta Junio 2 > Neon.
Pregones is thrilled to announce a new world premiere musical play, born and bred by our award winning ensemble, right here in Da Bronx!
Inspired by the life of b-boy and muse Juan Rivera and the book Queer Latino Testimonio, Keith Haring and Juanito Xtravaganza: Hard Tails by Arnaldo Cruz Malavé, NEON BABY is a funky new musical set in a mythical dance club called Paradise —inspired by the famed Paradise Garage— where runaway gay youths of color find the family and the courage to let their better selves shine through.
Two passions take center stage in the story: First, the passion of a mother praying from a distance for her son's safety and well-being in the big city, amidst the AIDS crisis. Second, the furious bond between the runaway boy, the city that seduces him, the man that breaks his heart, and and the strangers who welcome and cherish him as one of their own.
NEON BABY is a funkalicious story about the love of a mother for her son, a son for his mother, a boy for his sisters and brothers, blood family and chosen family, lovers and fighters — each and all hopeful and fierce and drunk with radiant music.
A lifting remembrance of New York City at the turn of the last century, and a love letter to the children who made that era truly legendary!

Una
lírica obra teatral repleta de imágenes dramáticas que se enfoca en la
extraordinaria historia de amor entre un hombre con inclinaciones
poéticas llamado Florentino Ariza y una mujer sensual, práctica y
evasiva llamada Fermina Daza. La acción de la obra atraviesa cincuenta
años y la historia se presenta en una serie de escenas repletas de
movimiento, poesía, canciones y momentos de exuberante dramatismo. Un
audaz tour-de-force teatral para cuatro actores.

“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.
* Entrada Gratis* > Gratis no hay nada > De Saulo García > Junio 15, 16 > Repertorio Español > Gratis.
Un
hilarante monólogo de Saulo García el dotado comediante que nos trajo
“La vida en los Esclavos Unidos” y “El insomnio americano”. En Entrada
Gratis* Saulo se aventura a hablar de temas tabúes como la política, la
muerte, la mentira conyugal y las relaciones entre padres e hijos para
entregarnos un espectáculo que destaca tanto por una frecuencia
vertiginosa de risas, como por una sabiduría que no acusa ni da
lecciones, pero señala, reflexiona y termina por conmover.
