by Gretchen Suárez-Peña (she/her)

Winner of the 2023 Tampa Bay Theatre Festival and the 2023 Voices of Women Theatre Festival! Searching for Abuelo is a one-woman show framed in the Puerto Rican musical style of Bomba. My maternal grandfather died before my mother even graduated from High School. I know very little about him. In this show, I (Gretchen Suárez-Peña) put myself through the journey of figuring out who he was, who I am, and what to do about it.

*Please note that this performance will be presented at the Tank's in-person performance space at 312 W 36th St. All attendees and artists will be required to have a covid vaccination before being admitted to the space. Patrons will also be required to wear masks, when not eating or drinking.
