Julian and Romero is A fabled story of two young Cuban men in the 1960's, one communist soldier under Castro's revolution, and one closeted gay young man- who were both best friends growing up but are now at odds with each other's beliefs, politically/religiously and culturally. 

The story is told in scenes, dance and monologues within the play at a UMAP prison camp with subplots and relationship issues that arise between the prisoner and the soldier. It is an agonizing look at a rich cultural history, filled with music of Cuba's yesteryear, American dreams and the will to survive against all odds.

The production stars Gonzalo Trigueros (Romero), Sebastian Stimman (Julian), Julian Juaquez (Raul), EdnaLee Figueroa (Bertha) and Daren Flemming (Sgt. Cruz). Written and Directed by Alex Perez. Tech Director Libby Jensen, Costume Designer Peter King, Associate Stage Manager Bryan Campo.
