Acclaimed One Woman Show 'TIL SUNDAY Offers One Night Only Performance at GableStage

YOLO! Productions is proud to be bringing 'Til Sunday to Miami's GableStage for a one night only performance on Monday, June 18th. 'Til Sunday performed at the 2017 Hollywood Fringe festival where it was nominated for best solo show and most recently was the closing act at the 25th Anniversary of the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival. Written by Nairoby Otero and directed by Michael D'Angora, 'Til Sunday is a one woman show that tackles what is means to be Cuban, what it means to be an immigrant, and ultimately, what it means to be American.

'Til Sunday is based on historical events, intertwined with real life struggles, faced by Cuban families that came to the United States in the early 1970's to mid 1980's seeking political asylum. 'Til Sunday tells the story of a young mother coming from Cuba to New Orleans with her daughter in search of a better life. Following three characters, we watch the young girl grow up and prepare for her quinces. As she struggles with her identity, heritage, and loyalty, her mother struggles with her marriage and getting her husband legally to America, as her cranky old neighbor waxes on about Cuban-American relations over his backyard dominos game.

With a film adaption in the works, Otero is excited for Miami audiences to rediscover this story and the events that have shaped the Cuban American experience.
