“A captivating theatrical experience that seamlessly blends humor, heart, and cultural exploration.” – Broadway World
From award-winning Boston playwright Alexis Scheer (Our Dear Dead Drug Lord) comes this cafecito-infused comedy about mothers and daughters and art and success. On the eve of Art Basel, Mari is about to open a career-defining show in her Miami gallery, when suddenly all the paintings go missing. To make matters worse, her once-famous, mostly-absent mother hits town with a mysterious agenda. Part telenovela and part whodunit, Laughs in Spanish is a poignant and playful exploration of family and identity, bursting with joy.
