ANNA IN THE TROPICS is a celebration of both the beauty and the power of language. Its story, about the transforming effect of literature, uses some of the most poetic dialogue written for the stage. In 1929, one of the few remaining Cuban-American "lectors" arrives at a cigar factory in Florida to read daily installments of Anna Karenina to the workers. As he brings Tolstoy’s epic novel to life for the laborers, their lives begin to change under the influence of the book’s sensual intrigues.
The production’s cast includes Amanda Rodriguez and Sean Gallagher, both making their DLT debut. Also starring: Daryl Wallace, Millie Plowman, Victoria Hughes, Frank Witte, Gino Tubito, and Willie Montoya.
