Playing @
13th Street Repertory
50 W 13th St, New York, NY 10011
Written and performed by Jay Alvarez and directed by Theresa Gambacorta.

Sharks takes you to the sultry beats of The Tropicana in the 1950s, the danger of Fulgencio Batistas fall and Fidel Castros rise to power, a political revolution and a CIA attempt to separate children from parents, the longing for a better life that propels one to throw themselves, under the cover of a moonless night into the unknown- events that shaped the Alvarez family's escape from Cuba in 1964.
