Bay Street Theater has announced the cast and crew for “Anna in the Tropics,” winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize and the second show of the 2022 mainstage season, with previews starting June 28. The play by Nilo Cruz, directed by Marcos Santana, opens Saturday, July 2, and continues through Sunday, July 24.

“Anna in the Tropics” centers on a sultry and steamy cigar factory in 1929 Tampa, Florida, where the lives of a Cuban-American family are challenged by the vices and temptations that surround them. The factory owner, Santiago, wrestles with a gambling addiction that’s emboldened by his half-brother, while his daughters, unhappy in their respective relationships, long for the affection of the factory’s handsome lector. Romance, lust and jealousy collide as the family confronts the discontent in their lives, as a wave of modernization threatens to dispel the very traditions they hold dear. Directed by Marcos Santana.

The cast includes Christian Barillas as CheChe; Maria Isabel Bilbao as Marela; Serafin Falcon as Santiago; Iliana Guibert as Ofelia; Gullermo Ivan as Paloma/Eliades; Anthony Michael Martinez as Juan Julian; and Christine Spang as Conchita.

In addition to Santana, the creative team includes Rick Sordelet, fight/intimacy director; Luciana Stecconi, scenic designer; Fabian Aguilar, costume designer; Maria-Cristina Fusté, lighting designer; Milton Cordero, projection designer; Andrew Diaz, props designer; Lori Lundquist, production stage manager; and Kate Croasdale, assistant stage manager.

To purchase tickets, visit baystreet.org or call 631-725-9500. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
