Y Tu Abuela, Where is She?, written by New York-based playwright, Nelson Diaz-Marcano, and directed by VLTC Artistic Director, Xavier M. Custodio, is a contemporary play celebrating the language, culture, and music of Puerto Rico. It tells the story of Adalina and Xavier, an interracial Puerto Rican couple who have been accepted into a program that allows them to modify the genes of their unborn child. Excitement over their child's prospective life helps them forget the issues plaguing their relationship, until they get stuck on a question: what color skin should their child have? As they navigate the answer, larger problems are exposed, and divine intervention may be needed for the whole family to survive.
