SCT is excited to welcome back former Artistic Resident Paige Hernandez with her inspired one-woman dance party tour de force, Havana Hop.

Come meet young Yeila who visits her grandmother in Cuba to add a salsa flavor to her own hip-hop style! The audience gets to dance along in this dynamic participation play where one actress creates three generations of lively women. Journey with Yeila as she discovers the fun of her multi-cultural heritage.
