La Havana Madrid

Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Local News

Step back to the 1960s as the Jay Pritzker Pavilion is transformed to honor La Havana Madrid, a real nightclub at the corner of Belmont and Sheffield where newly arrived Latino immigrants gathered to dine, dance and find community. As the glorious rhythms of mambo and salsa form the heartbeat of an ever-changing city, audiences learn the stories of Latine newcomers seeking a home in Chicago, discovering their destinies and falling madly in love. La Havana Madrid is inspired by real stories of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Colombian immigrants who found refuge in that vibrant second-floor supper club at Belmont and Sheffield in the Lakeview neighborhood. La Havana Marid, co-produced with Collaboraction, written by Sandra Delgado and directed by Cheryl Lynn Bruce, will take place on Friday, Aug. 23rd at the Pritzker Pavilion. Admission is free.
