Be a part of a world premiere and come see “Bloodline Rumba” at the Thrust Theatre. Written by one of U of L’s own, John Chenault, “Bloodline Rumba” tells the story of a Cuban-American medical resident and a Cuban patient in a New York City hospital. The play is built around the themes of family, identity, racism and immigration. In a twist, the play is set in two different time periods, taking the audience back to Cuba in the 1900s— a historical time when racial tensions were high.
This is the first time the play will be brought to life.
