The arrival of lector Juan Julian transforms the lives of Cuban-American workers as he reads Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, weaving themes of love and betrayal into their daily lives. Directed by Carla Scruggs and Rose Bianco, this production serves as a poignant tribute to the community's roots and shared histories, reflecting on the theater's deep connections to the Atlanta Cuban Club.
