“…la obra estuvo bellamente elaborada, fue entretenida y llamó la atención. Mostró, a través de cada personaje, hasta qué punto un solo problema personal y cómo lo abordamos puede ser tan complejo y transformador". - Veronica, Student at Academy of the Holy Cross

 

“Everyone at GALA was helpful and professional, and the performance was outstanding!  My students were in awe of the story and the production quality, and all left the theater impressed…  I look forward to organizing another trip to the GALA next year!” - Andrew, Teacher at The Siena School

 

“Esta obra me fascinó. La escenografía fue increíblemente original, cambiando de decorado constantemente, desde una casa hasta un hotel. Los actores se sumergieron en sus roles de manera impresionante... La historia de las hermanas, enfrentando la soledad en un país desconocido, fue conmovedora y capturó mi atención por completo”. - Izzy, Student at Academy of the Holy Cross


NOTE: This production includes light haze and the sound of gunshots.


Dive into the vibrant chaos of 1985 Miami as Cristina García's gripping play, The Palacios Sisters, catapults Chekhov's "Three Sisters" forward to Florida in the 1980s. Recently arrived from Havana, the ambitious young ballerina Irinita joins forces with her culturally refined siblings - Olga and María- and their talented classical pianist brother, Andrés. Together, they navigate Miami's treacherous landscape filled with drug wars, rampant violence, and an escalating AIDS epidemic. Clinging to memories of their beloved homeland while grappling with the dizzying new reality that surrounds them, the sisters emerge as artistic beacons of hope in this poignant tale about longing, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of family.


Experimenta el vibrante caos del Miami de 1985 a través de esta obra de Cristina García, que catapulta la pieza "Three Sisters" de Chekvoh a la Florida de los años 80. Recién llegada de La Habana, la ambiciosa y joven bailarina Irinita se asocia con sus distinguidas hermanas, Olga y María, y con su hermano Andrés, un talentoso pianista clásico. Juntos se adentran en el traicionero ambiente miamero, lleno de drogas, violencia desmedida y una creciente epidemia de SIDA. Aferrándose a los recuerdos de su país natal mientras se adaptan a su nueva realidad, las hermanas se convierten en los íconos artísticos de la esperanza en esta conmovedora historia sobre resiliencia, nostalgia y lazos familiares inquebrantables.
