ABOUT THE SHOW
In Jose Rivera's "THE HOUSE OF RAMÓN IGLESIA," It's 1983, and the Iglesia family is caught between two worlds.
Aging and ailing, parents Ramon and Dolores are eager to leave their rickety house in New Jersey and return to their native Puerto Rico – but their three sons, all raised in America, are deeply divided on whether or not to go.
Tough, genuine, and insightful, "THE HOUSE OF RAMÓN IGLESIA" asks just as much as it answers.
What do we owe our parents, and our children?
What do we mean when we say "country", or "family", or "home"?
As they struggle through gaps of language, age, and culture, will the Iglesia family find common ground?
Or are their rifts too wide to heal?
