Writer Andrea O’Reilly Herrera’s debut play is a multilayered family history that explores memory, transculturation, and loss. The intergenerational drama, spanning nearly 100 years of history, focuses on Margarita, a Cuban exile who resides in the United States. Music by Cuban jazz musician and composer Zahili González Zamora underscores the cultural cross-pollination between the US and the Island. The all-Latin cast is directed by Nicole Quintana.
