Ybor City, written and directed by Mariana Da Silva, is a must-see play that explores timely issues of labor, immigration, and class struggles.
Set during the Great Depression, this one-act drama follows Nena and Eddie, siblings who move to Tampa’s Ybor City from Cuba to work in a struggling cigar factory. As the workers battle unsafe conditions and exploitation, the play delves into the intersection of personal ambition and social justice.
With its bilingual dialogue, Brechtian techniques, and powerful projections, Ybor City brings urgent social issues to the stage in a way that resonates today. This groundbreaking production is a bold, timely exploration of the past—and its relevance to our present.
