LA GOTA FRIA: THE COLD SWEAT Announced At The Players Theater
LA GOTA FRIA will play through March 23.
ANNA CAPUNAY and Bill McDonald, in association with Anna Marcus-Hecht, have announced the Off-Broadway engagement of Anna Capunay's LA GOTA FRIA: The Cold Sweat, directed by Gregory Lipson. A timely family dramedy about how a family is affected by the healthcare industry, LA GOTA FRIA will play for three weeks at The Players Theatre (115 MacDougal St, New York, NY, 10012). Performances begin Thursday, March 6th, and continue through Sunday, March 23rd. Tickets are $52 and available at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/277/1740805200000
When Josefina Gonzalez, the beloved matriarch of the Gonzalez family, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, her fiercely devoted family comes together—her blind yet hyperaware father, her high-strung daughter, and her daughter's endlessly supportive husband. Determined to forgo further medical intervention, Josefina is ready to face her fate on her terms. But Enrique, a well-meaning yet meddlesome family friend, has other ideas—pushing the tight-knit Gonzalez clan toward an alternative treatment that might just grant Josefina's deepest wish…and then some.
LA GOTA FRIA: THE COLD SWEAT is a bold and biting new comedy about love, choice, and the unexpected ways we fight for the ones we cherish.
“Discourse about the medical industry is more urgent than ever, but for many, the wounds are still fresh,” says producer and playwright Anna Capunay. “This play is about the lengths we go through to achieve quality of life, even if it is not within the confines of Big Pharma. Does the medical industry want us healed, or do they want to keep us sick because it is good for business? Cancer is a serious industry. If you have ever thought about what else is out there and what can aid our path to health, this is a must-see play. LA GOTA FRIA: THE COLD SWEAT delivers drama, laughter, music, dance, family, and even a pet cat!”
The production stars Pilar Valdés (NEON, Netflix) as Josefina Gonzalez, Yessenia Rivas (YA TU SABES, NBC Universal) as Irene, Danny Borba* (THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS, National Tour) as Alfredo, J. Santiago Suarez (DORA AND THE SEARCH FOR SOL DORADO, Paramount) as Manuel, and Jared Trevino (YA TU SABES, NBC Universal) as Enrique. The principals are understudied by Cintra Batchoo (Josefina), Abril López Ruiz (Irene), Edoardo Miranda (Alberto), Plinio Villablanca (Manuel), and David Fernandez (Enrique).
