iOye! Puerto Rican Theater Breaks Through

 
 

¡Oyé! Puerto Rican Theater Breaks Through presents a glimpse of Miguel Piñero and his 1974 play Short Eyes, along with other impactful works of theater written by and performed by Puerto Rican artists who appeared on Lincoln Center stages through the 1970s and 1980s. Piñero and his contemporaries, like Carla Pinza, Bimbo Rivas, and Miriam Colón, helped to establish Puerto Rican theater in New York City. The free exhibit makes a case for Lincoln Center as a site where the maturation of Puerto Rican theater might be located in New York, one of many such places around the city.
