About the Show

A romantic two-hander from Academy Award nominated Puerto Rican filmmaker, Jacobo Morales.

A heartbeat. A memory. A lost love. Faced with the consequences of past choices and the possibilities of second chances, Lorena and Antonio find themselves unexpectedly in one another’s arms—enchanted by the thrill of the unknown and enrapt by the seductive allure of a Bolero. The American English-language premiere of this romantic pas de deux is directed by Julio Monge, and features Maggie Bofill and Jorge Luna as the two lovers.

"3.5/5 stars...entertaining, romantic, sorrowful, and even funny. A big part of its success can be attributed to the two performers: Maggie Bofill as Lorena and Jorge Luna as Antonio...George Street should be congratulated for easing back into live-audience theater with such a complex, innovative, and memorable play."
