An Uncommonly Comical Review of an Accidental Assassination Attempt on Fidel Castro
1963, Havana. At an engagement party, a father attempts to protect his family by marrying his daughter off to a high level member of the regime, but when Fidel Castro makes a surprise appearance, a series of events inadvertently lead to his death, the father must don the beard and pose as the dictator for the evening.
Throughout his life, there were 638 assassination attempts on Fidel Castro. In this farce, a fourth wall breaking narrator guides us through one fictional attempt in the spring of 1963, replete with slamming doors, slapstick schemes, miscommunications, raging hormones, and a drink switcheroo.
Featuring a stellar all-Latine ensemble featuring: Jose Maestas, Gerry Tonella, Alison Segura, Gregory Santos, Jair Bula, Janine Granda, Tori Castillo, Zachary Izquierdo, Eric Solis & Shanel Montano.
Note: We will be dedicating each performance by highlighting the life of a Cuban exile(s) connected to the all-Latine company during each show’s pre-show announcement.
