Jealousy
Don’t miss the debut production of Valencia’s Florida Playwright Competition winner, Ricardo Soltero-Brown. The play synopsis reads: “Al has arrived at Celia’s place of residence to steal her away. They dispute the rationale of this, as well as the nature of attraction and desire, although Celia rarely looks up from the artwork she is creating. Al is undeterred, even with the arrival of Gunner, Celia’s boyfriend. After realizing what Al is doing there, Gunner deals with the situation in his own way: as a spectacle for his own entertainment.” The play will debut on February 5th at Valencia’s Black Box Theatre at the East campus.
