WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
When Beny Acevedo, landlord and proprietor of a bustling Washington Heights barbershop, gets a multi-million dollar offer to sell his building, he faces the toughest decision of his life. Set against a score of original contemporary Latin music emanating from the airwaves, La Barbería is a comedic and wistful portrait of a neighborhood in flux and a tribute to the strength of a community.
This new Spanglish comedic drama by David Maldonado and Ari Maniel Cruz is a funny, yet emotional journey of hope, identity, and assimilation. It is performed mostly in Spanish.
