The Prince and the Pana
by Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance & Cultural Center

Dec. 09 - Dec. 10, 2023
Saturday-Sunday

Set in the mid-19th century - before the end of the Abolition of Slavery in Puerto Rico - our story The Prince and the Pana reveals relatively unknown history, breaks historical stereotypes, and features a cast of strong women who are ahead of their time!

Each year, our annual play combines community theatre, original live music, dance, and cocobalé -- sticks & machete fighting -- to bring history to life and honor unsung heroes! Our musical will feature original Bomba, Plena, Jibaro, and Taino music! 

The Prince & The Pana will enjoy a full cast including 8 actors, fighters, dancers, musicians, extras -- and cameo performances by our cultural center children! Tickets and more information coming this Fall.

Our Boriwood productions can never have enough dancers or musicians. Contact us to become involved!
