PREGONES THEATER 9TH SUMMER STAGE TOUR
JPMorgan Chase Summer Arts Series
August 5 to 18, 2007      

Pregones Theater is thrilled to present its 9th annual free-admission summer tour of metropolitan New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, part of the exciting 2007 JPMorgan Chase Summer Arts Series. This year's featured musical theater production is a new staging of the ensemble's original bilingual play, La Caravana/The Caravan. Performed by actors in colorful Puerto Rican "vejigante" (carnival masquerader) costumes, the play is based on the poem "The Saltimbanco's Elegy" by Luis Palés Matos and on the folk legend of María Sabida as told by Judith Ortiz Cover.

Don't miss this exuberant explosion of color, song, dance, and laughter! Performances are in Spanish and English, free to the general public, and suitable for family audiences. Find a performance near you in the adjacent calendar!
