Part of BETSY! The Appalachian--Puerto Rican Musical

BETSY! tells the story of a Bronx jazz singer forced to confront her twin Spanish Caribbean and Scotch-Irish roots. Her dilemma stirs up the ghosts of six generations of American women, and musical currents spanning four continents. 

BETSY! premiered April 9-26 at the Pregones Theater/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater in Manhattan (304 W. 47th Street).
