You're in Puerto Rico. Old San Juan. You're a tourist, you walk down the stairs of this beautiful old fort built by the Spaniards. When you reach the bottom, you realize you're in a hole. Welcome to the basement that lies under the tourism and behind the fort walls. You spend some days there, you don't want to leave. Oh no, you're addicted. Tell Hector I Miss Him unmasks a community built on the law of respect that keeps getting washed away but refuses to drown.

Tell Hector I Miss Him began previews January 11 and will officially open Monday, January 23 Off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 (330 West 16th Street).

Tell Hector I Miss Him features scenic design by Clint Ramos, costume design by Dede M. Ayite, lighting design by Eric Southern and sound design by Jesse Mandapat and casting by Caparelliotis Casting: David Caparelliotis, CSA and Lauren Port, CSA and Joseph Gery.
