"We hope these intimate visits from afar are providing some connectivity, solidarity and joy," said Artistic Director Loretta Greco. "Next up: a month of reflections from your favorite Magic actors, directors, designers and special guests! We are also beyond thrilled to let you know that we have (finally) been given permission to make available the archival video of our critically-acclaimed World Premiere of DON'T EAT THE MANGOS by Ricardo Pérez González, directed by David Mendizábal."

DON'T EAT THE MANGOS takes place just outside of San Juan, where three sisters take turns caring for their ailing Papa. As a hurricane wreaks havoc, secrets are spilled and ugly truths emerge. Confronting their legacy, the sisters wrestle with what it means to stay true to self, familia, homeland and...how to best seek their revenge. DON'T EAT THE MANGOS is a wickedly funny drama.

The cast included Wilma Bonet* as "Mami", Yetta Gottesman* as "Ismelda," Elena Estér as "Yinoelle," Marilet Martinez* as "Wicha," and Julian López-Morillas* as "Papi."

In addition to Mr. González and Mr. Mendizábal, the creative team included Tanya Orellana (Scenic Design), Brynn Almli (Costume Design), Chris Lundahl (Lighting Design), Sara Huddleston (Sound Design), and Libby Martinez (Props Design).
