Source: Alejandra Gutierrez
November 17th and 18th, Monticello Opera House, in Monticello, Florida
You will have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Hispanic dinner, live guitar music, and Tango and Flamenco performances, followed by the play Forever Yours, Julita, a story of poetry, love and betrayal written by Puerto Rican playwright Roberto Ramos-Perea. This play deals with important issues of artistic integrity, male/female roles in Latin American society, and Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States. The play begins in 1914. Julia is 19. She has written her first book of poetry and is seeking recognition. That night she attends a party given by a well-known poet, Luis, who is celebrating an important prize he has won. Luis receives the young woman who gives him a copy of her book of poetry to obtain his opinion. A no-holds-barred relationship starts up between them: disciple, political enemy, rival poet and lover.
The Tallahassee Hispanic Theater’s mission is to present contemporary Hispanic theater productions for the cultural education and enjoyment of the community while building cross-cultural awareness.
