written by René Solivan
Directed by Jesus Reyes
(A BOFLTE New Works Festival
Finalist)
Based on actual events, Miss
Lebron examines the
controversial life of Puerto Rican
Nationalist, Lolita Lebron. Her life
offers a scolding look at the
cherished assumptions of the
relationship between the United
States and Puerto Rico. Miss
Lebron digs underneath the
façade of this tropical paradise and
finds a past filled with oppression
and a society whose culture and
heritage have been suppressed to
justify imperialism. With simmering
rage, Miss Lebron struggles
for years to attain Puerto Rico’s
independence from the United States.
Opens Fri, Sept 4 – Sat, Sept, 26
