La Gringa

New York’s longest-running off-Broadway Spanish-language production, Carmen Rivera’s La Gringa has only grown in reputation and relevance since its 1996 debut. It chronicles a young woman’s journey to her ancestral homeland of Puerto Rico over the Christmas holidays. While she connects intensely with her uncle Manolo, she finds that much of the island considers her an American. Rivera’s play meditates on a character torn between cultures, fitting snugly in neither. Nov 30–Dec 17: 7:30pm Thurs–Sat, 3pm Sun; $60
