CANGREJOS Y CAFE is our 20th original, bilingual play based in Puerto Rican oral and documented history. 
She came from a long-time, coffee growing family in Las Montañas. He was an obrero from San Mateo de Cangrejos. Their friendship spanned lifetimes. In his ancestral past, she saved his life. He has returned to this lifetime to repay the debt. 
Set in the 1950s, our annual mainstage production will combine original live music, dance, community theater, and cocobalé -- STICKS & MACHETE FIGHTING -- to bring history to life and honor unsung heroes!
