Based on actual events, Miss Lebron examines the controversial life of Puerto Rican Nationalist, Lolita Lebron. Her life offers a scolding look at the cherished assumptions of the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico. Miss Lebron digs underneath the façade of this tropical paradise and finds a past filled with oppression and a society whose culture and heritage have been suppressed to justify imperialism. With simmering rage, Miss Lebron struggles for years to attain Puerto Rico’s independence from the United States.
Opens Fri, Sept 4 – Sat, Sept, 26

OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2009
THE MEDEA COMPLEX written by Patricia Crespin - A World Premiere!
(A BOFLTE New Works Festival Finalist)
The Medea Complex is a loose adaptation of Euripides Medea, with a Latin twist. Medea thrives on the weakness of others and reeks of temptation and doom. She encompasses all women who stand to be judged for their actions and apologizes for none of it. Gertrudes is an aging warrior, fighting for her self respect, desperately trying to find it through Medea. Jason is a greedy fool who manipulates his way in and out of the lives of those who love him and naively brings tragedy to everything he touches. Throw in a haunting soundtrack and a kooky guard and you’ve got The Medea Complex.
Opens Fri, Oct30 – Sat, Nov 21
