Photo Flash: First Look at Manatee Performing Arts Center's ANNA IN THE TROPICS
The Manatee Players are presenting Anna in the Tropics as part of their 2017 - 2018 Action through Acting series in Bradenton Kiwanis Studio Theater, running October 12-29, 2017. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Anna in the Tropics is a poignant and poetic new play set in Florida in 1929 in a Cuban-American cigar factory, where cigars are still rolled by hand and "lectors" are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration, but when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics and the American dream prove a volatile combination.
