LAUGHS IN SPANISH Comes to 1st Stage

Step into the vibrant world of Miami's Wynwood arts district with a joyous and downright hilarious snapshot of Cuban and Colombian-American culture. As Art Basel approaches, Mariana, the director of a swanky modern art gallery, faces a serious dilemma: her showroom has become an active crime scene. Part crime-comedy, part mother-daughter story, this play follows Mariana and her eccentric squad, including her larger-than-life mother, a film and television star determined to save the show. “A poignant and playful exploration of family, identity, and comedy.” – Boulder Weekly
