What did our critic think of ANNA IN THE TROPICS at Ground Floor Theatre?
Enter the Ground Floor Theatre and be transported to a much simpler time, 1929 Florida. Cigars are rolled by hand, families work the craft together, and workers are entertained by the sound of a “lector” - a reader. Can you smell the thick and sweet aroma of the Cuban cigars, yet?
