Luis Santeiro is the Emmy Award-winning writer of PBS’s ¿Que Pasa, USA?, Sesame Street, and the award-winning playwright of The Lady from Havana and Our Lady of the Tortilla.
In this cabaret-style show, Santeiro explores his family’s journey from pre-Castro Cuba to traumatic exile in Miami during the turbulent 1960s. Forced to leave the island at age 12, he was determined to become “All-American” and put his Latino past behind. But it wasn’t so simple. With a sense of humor, songs and stories he shares a lovely tribute to his family while exploring loss, the passage of time in his homeland, and the richness of being from two cultures.
