IF I HAVE TO GO – SEPTEMBER 9 AT 9:30PM

If I Have to Go is an intimate evening of memories.

Isabella Araque takes the stage to share her journey as a Venezuelan immigrant in New York City and everything that comes with it: challenges, identity struggles, living in between places, and stories and moments from the many other immigrants that make this city. This is a tribute to the resilience and will to survive that lives within every immigrant story, told through a blend of the songs that made her: a night full of musical theater and iconic Latin American songs from artists like Natalia Lafourcade and Mon Laferte. Isabella explores what it means to belong, what a home really is and the quiet question that lingers: Will I have to go?

With bold, bilingual arrangements and raw personal stories, this intimate cabaret invites the audience into the in between: where joy meets uncertainty, and memory meets possibility.

If I Have to Go… is a celebration of resilience, roots, and creating home in yourself.

Produced by Isabella Araque.

Music direction by Bruce De La Cruz.

Also joined by Valeria Aceves, Yahir Montes, Lari Panini, Ana Grethel Solis, and Amber Sosa.
