Rubenology: The Making of an American Legend
The legendary Ruben Rabasa (who Andy Garcia called "La Gloria de Cuba") takes the wheel of his own one-person show to tell us about the wild ride of his life - all 83 years of it and counting.
Rabasa takes us from Cuba to the United States; from santeros to his saving grace, his mom. It's funny and silly and full of heart, just like Rabasa himself, who has a thing or two to teach us - his Rubenology - about being an actor, a lover, a friend, a son, a Cuban-American and an American. A WORLD PREMIERE!

Fade
Fade by Tanya Saracho
Directed By Teo Castellanos
A witty dramatic comedy about class, integrity, and culture. Lucia is understandably nervous. It’s day one at her first TV writing job. As a Hispanic novelist, she may actually be the “diversity hire” she’s heard whispers about. Uncertain whether she can make a place for herself in cutthroat Hollywood, she feels less alone when she meets Abel, the Latino janitor. They form a bond and share stories, but it turns out that their friendship is not what Abel expects.
Preview performance: Friday, June 19. Tickets $35-$65.

Funnyhouse of a Negro
As a part of our "Dans le avant-garde series," "Funnyhouse of a Negro" by Adrienne Kennedy, directed by Zaylin Yates, is a poetic and symbolic investigation into one woman's mind before her death. Sarah has created four different personas as a way to grapple with her own self-hatred: Queen Victoria, the Duchess of Hapsburg, Jesus, and Patrice Lumumba. With these four characters at her side, Sarah tries to make sense of her conception (from rape), her life without her parents, and the creeping insanity that she feels all around her.

Runtime: Approximately 1hr.
Following the show, we will host "My Blackness Is Too...," a symposium on colorism and self-identity. This symposium will feature a panel of special guests and focus on mental and emotional healing for black/brown men and women. Mental illness, self-hate, and the need to be socially accepted are issues that currently plague the black community, and it is time to have a conversation. Admission to the symposium will be free. If you plan to only attend the symposium, you will be admitted once the performance concludes.
