Tuesday | February 23 | 7pm Price: FREE with RSVP Based on the Julia Álvarez Novel In the Time of the Butterflies Directed by José Zayas Presented in partnership with Repertorio Español “In The Time of the Butterflies” is the story of the courageous Mirabal Sisters from the Dominican Republic. The Sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’, their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960. Through a magi-cal production based on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, the martyred butterflies come to vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production by the talented duo—playwright Caridad Svich and director José Zayas—that brought us the critically acclaimed production of Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits” in 2009.
