My maternal grandfather died before my mother even graduated from High School. I know very little about him except that he was a bartender, an aspiring actor and writer in New York City, and really wanted to own a Mercedes Benz. In this one-act solo show, framed in the traditional Puerto Rican musical style of Bomba, I (Gretchen) put myself through the journey of figuring out who he was, who I am, and what to do about it. "...a one-woman journey of heritage, family, love, politics, societal ideology, comedy, religion, self-awareness, and boldness; all through Bomba...." - J. from Lakeland, FL
"Gretchen understands every nuance of storytelling, taking her audience on a ride of highs and lows, teaching and entertaining..." - C.S. from Lakeland, FL
