Botánica, by Dolores Prida, is a comedy that takes place in an herb shop where the venerable Doña Geno, a spiritual leader in the community, concocts love potions, divines the future and dispenses spiritual cures. Originally set in New York, Escena Latina Teatro has adapted the play to Boston. The play touches on the very current issue of gentrification and the consequent displacement of the Latino community in Jamaica Plain.
This production will feature Yoruba inspired art by local artist, Stephen Hamilton. Before the show on Saturday, July 29 at 5:00 pm, the Flavio Lira Quartet will entertain patrons in the pop up cafe.
In the event of anticipated rain, plays will be held at the JF Kennedy School at 7 Bolster Street, around the corner from Mozart Park.
Presented by Hyde Jackson Square Main Street.
Event held on July 27, 28 and 29th from 5pm - 9pm.
Saturday, Apr 27, 2024 goes until 04/28
