Front Porch Arts Collective and Teatro Chelsea present a traveling staged reading of the new musical CUBAMOR, a Cuban-American reimagining of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” from composer/lyricist Charles Vincent Burwell (Boston Conservatory @ Berklee Professor of Theater) and actor/writer/lyricist James Sasser (Jonathan Larson Award finalist).

Inspired by the Sundance Award-winning film by Joshua Bee Alafia, CUBAMOR weaves Afro-Cuban cultural traditions, contemporary dance and hip-hop into a dynamic theatrical experience.

The story follows two Americans in love with two Cubans who navigate historical divides of both cultures.

The couples are guided and challenged by the island’s spiritual forces and diverse musical heritage, and ultimately the power of their own love.

This reading is directed by Boston’s Arthur Gomez.

Casting includes Davron Monroe (as “Tata”), Amber-Nicole Rodriguez (“Elena”), David J. Castillo (“Renato”), Joselyn Gil (“Maria”) and Isabella Garcia (“Zoe”). CUBAMOR performances span two Boston-area locations: Wed / Thu, Nov 12 & 13 @ 7PM at Chelsea Theatre Works, 189 Winnisimmet St., Chelsea and Fri, Nov 14 @ 7PM at Hibernian Hall, 185 Dudley St., Roxbury.
