New Village Arts invites audiences to step back in time to the 1960s as the Ray Charles Stage is transformed into La Havana Madrid, the legendary Chicago nightclub where newly arrived Latinx immigrants found solace, community, and the rhythms of home. Inspired by real stories, Sandra Delgado’s LA HAVANA MADRID brings to life the experiences of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Colombian newcomers navigating their place in a rapidly changing city. Against the backdrop of mambo and salsa, they discover love, resilience, and the power of music to create belonging. By the end of the night, audiences will find it impossible to stay in their seats—so we encourage you to bring your dancing shoes and prepare to be swept away by the soul-stirring Latiné beat! Join us after select performances of LA HAVANA MADRID for our Social Dance Club after-party, in collaboration with Salsa-Bachata y Vino!

Select Wednesdays at 2pm

Thursdays at 7:30pm
