After a six year Off-Broadway run and a US and Puerto Rico Tour of his award-winning play, GROWING UP GONZALES, Felix Rojas tackles the topic of trust and infidelity in his new, wild comedy, A DAY IN THE CRIB. The story takes place during a ten-hour period on a Friday in June, in a Bronx three story walk up. John and Laurie, a struggling married couple, with a rambunctious sixteen-year-old daughter, are on a collision course with accountability. John strays a little too far with a gorgeous young Latina who's text messages land in the wrong hands.
