This painfully funny slice of Cuban-American life in the suburbs is a mix between a Hispanic soap opera and an ethnic comedy with political overtones. This deft play can change serious or ridiculous immediately and you’ll want a scorecard to keep track of the cascading and sometimes arboreous calamities.

An L.A. Theater Works full-cast overall performance featuring Mehnlehseh Boayue, Noe Cuellar, Marilyn Dodds Frank, Sabrina duKavan, Gustavo Mellado, Maricela Ochoa, John C. Seda and Edward F. Torres.
