What’s Ahead in 2017!

2017 has officially kicked-off and we are looking forward to the many projects this years brings for us!
Here’s what’s in store this new year:
First up is a new production just in time to honor the Dominican Republic and its strides for freedom!
IN THE NAME OF SALOMÉ
Written by: Marco Antonio Rodríguez | Directed by: José Zayas
A new play based on Julia Álvarez’s epic fictional novel of real-life iconic poet Salomé Ureña de Henríquez. Born in the 1850’s, in a time of intense political and emotional repression and turmoil, Salomé’s fervent patriotic poems turned her into a national icon. “In the Name of Salomé” is equally the story of Salomé’s daughter, Camila, who grows up in exile, in the shadow of her mother’s legend.
“In the name of Salomé” (En el nombre de Salmé) will have its world premiere at Repertorio Español on February 11th, 2017. As an added bonus if you purchase tickets before February 11th you can get 25% off by using code: salome25 at checkout, https://goo.gl/aQiF2V
