A bicycle dreams ofbecoming a boy, an umbrella dreams of becomingthe rain, a pearl dreams of becoming a woman,and a chair dreams of becoming a gazelle andrunning back to the forest.”—excerpt from Anna in the TropicsYbor City, where Anna in the Tropics is set, was onceknown as the “Cigar Capital of the World.” But in 1929,things were about to change in the U.S. and the Tampaworkers were controversial because they wanted to holdonto tradition: to roll “puros,” cigars, by hand, continueto employ lectors who were their window to the worldand not be replaced by mechanization. While manyworkers were illiterate, they could quote Cervantes,Calderon de la Barca, Tolstoy, Shakespeare and weremore politically aware than many of their Americancounterparts. The lectors educated, enriched andentertained their listeners with news, classic literatureand new ways of thinking, providing them with anescape from their painstaking repetitive labor.There is so much that is sensory in Anna in the Tropics.As we hear the rhythm of life, we taste the “sabor”and beauty of Cuban music; we smell the humidityand the tobacco in the air as the fans cool and refreshour skin; we see the light coming in through thewindows and as each day pass in the story, we watchthe emotional transformation of this small group offactory workers and we ourselves, the audience, arechanged by the experience.Nilo Cruz won the Pulitzer Prize with this beautiful gemin 2003. He is the first Hispanic playwright to win thisprize for Drama followed by Quiara Alegria Hudes,who won in 2012 for her play Water by the Spoonful.So dear audience, imagine you are smoking a handrolled Cuban cigar on a warm balmy night and enjoythe power of words. A gozar!SPECIAL THANKSLuis Alfaro, Angel Chen, Terry Gordon, Beth Hogan, Tina Haatainen-Jones, Oliver Mayer,Haley Miller, Arthur Murray Santa Monica, Joel Rieck, Jack Rowe, Howard Schmitt,Meagan Smith, Michelle Tang, Gabriela Young and David Woodbury for the Rumba class.
