The NJPL is proud to be participating in the 2022 New Jersey Theatre Alliance Stages Festival! Please join us for a developmental staged reading of Come Rain, Come Hurricane, a new play by Edwin Rivera-Arias, directed by Victor Almanzar. This play is a 2022 NJPL Residency play selection. "I survive Hurricane Flora, Batista, the zafra, el calabozo, y el paredon. I survive anything.” So says feisty old Cubano, Don Berto Remedios, who awakes one rainy morning to discover that he's been robbed of the $9,000 he was hoping to take back with him to his homeland paradise. And the thief, a young Boricua with dreams of his own, is closer to him than he ever could have imagined. Laced with sparkling humor and resonant emotional drama, Come Rain, Come Hurricane explores the bonds (and bounds) of friendship; working-class Latino families; and the agony of forced migration. Who can stand tall when the storms ring down and lives are blasted to pieces?
