We are proud to invite you to Anna in the Tropics, a play by Nilo Cruz directed by our fellow Rodolfo Robles Cruz.
ANNA IN THE TROPICS is a poignant and poetic play set in Florida in 1929 in a Cuban–American cigar factory, where ci**rs are still rolled by hand and “lectors” are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration, but when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and the American dream prove a volatile combination.

We hope you can come out and support the local talent!
