TORCHED!

Pulsing to the beat of salsa, funk-disco, and hip-hop, TORCHED! alternates from 1970’s New York —when news of Bronx fires filled the headlines— to the present day featuring personal accounts of survival. Part investigative theater and part poetic fiction, TORCHED! brings forward true stories of those who lived through the devastating fires to lay bare the infamies of the arson-for-profit business. A Latinx ensemble cast of ten actors and musicians performs under the direction of Rosalba Rolón and musical director Desmar Guevara. Performances are at Pregones Theater in The Bronx (575 Walton Avenue near 149th Street & Grand Concourse), Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets start at $25, seating capacity is limited.
