ANNA IN THE TROPICS AT CCT June 13-22, 2025

Caribbean Community Theatre closes its 40th season with “ANNA IN THE TROPICS” – a play by Nilo Cruz. There are six performances over two weekends of this play at CCT: June 13-14 and June 20-21, 2025, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, and two Sunday matinees at 4 PM on June 15 & 22, 2025.

Heather McRae and Xiomara Sanchez direct the cast of Alissandra Banuelos, Paul Del Rio, Michelle Dizon, Carlos Franco, Shakir Guzman, Lucy Nunez, Eduardo Prentice, and Robert Reffell.

Anna in the Tropics is the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This story is a poignant and poetic 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.

“The words of Nilo Cruz waft from a stage like a scented breeze. They sparkle and prickle and swirl, enveloping those who listen in both a specific place and time – and in timeless passions that touch us all… In Anna in the Tropics, Cruz claims his place as a storyteller of intricate craftsmanship and poetic power…”  The Miami Herald

“…enticing and exotic…entrancingly love…”  Variety

General admission tickets may be purchased in advance online at Eventbrite.

For reservations, discounted tickets, more information, directions to CCT, or for handicap assistance, email: eileencct@gmail.com. Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for seniors (age 65+), and $15 for college students and CCT members; and may be purchased (for cash only) at the CCT box office prior to each show, which opens 45 minutes before curtain.

This play has adult content and is NOT recommended for children under age 18.
