A Red Orchid Theatre will present the world premiere of Last Hermanos, written by Exal Iraheta and directed by Ismael Lara Jr..
Last Hermanos runs April 21-June 12 at A Red Orchid Theatre, 1531 N Wells St.
Reunited and on the run, Miguel and Julio are fleeing an America where being Latinx is a life sentence. Sequestered in a Texas state park, the arrival of a sympathetic deserter, Shepherd, brings the conflict between Julio's desire for revolution and Miguel's longing for normalcy into sharp focus. Recorded last season as an audio play and now in its theatrical world premiere, Last Hermanos is a story of tenacious brotherhood and love in a not-so-distant future that asks: Which path promises the better future?
The cast includes Eddie Martinez (Miguel), Roberto Jay (Julio) and Chris Sheard (Shepherd).
Tickets are $15-$40 each; call 312-943-8722 or visit www.aredorchidtheatre.org .
