Emilio had his life all planned--until his game-winning home run propelled his
small-town baseball team, Los Jibaros into the playoffs!
Enjoy the comedy and adventure as Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance presents Boricua
Beisbol,
the story of Emilio, the choices he faces, and the inspiring and unexpected
advisors he meets.
This exciting performance combines live music, dance, and theater to guide the
audience on a
journey through defining moments in the history of baseball and the people of
Puerto Rico.
Each year, Sembrando Herencia seeds an awareness of often-forgotten elements
from Puerto
Rico's rich heritage--bringing history to life for both the audience and the
dancers, musicians,
and performing arts students who share in the experience. Our 8th annual
production, Boricua
Beisbol, was written by PRFDance Director Ana Maria Tekina-eiru' Maynard and was
produced
in collaboration with Rupert Reyes, Director of Teatro Vivo, baseball
aficionado Edwin Baez,
and sports author Jeff Katz who provided research direction in the early months of story
development.
