Quarter Rican Tickets

The world premiere of this fast-talking new comedy about the ins and outs of new parenting, mixed heritage, and what makes or breaks your child’s Latinx identity. Written by actor and Hoboken native Gabriel Hernandez, the play tells the story of 30-something Danny as he visits the local kids’ playground —super cute baby in tow— and engages in hilarious banter and park bench philosophizing with another parent. The conversation is peppered by wild asides with Danny's superlative and musical alter egos, MC Plátano, and DJ Quenepa.
