Red Bike

Center Repertory Company will present Obie Award-winning Cuban American author Caridad Svich’s compelling play “Red Bike”, which examines a crumbling American dream and the economic-social-cultural divide through the eyes of an 11-year-old growing up in small-town America. Trying to determine how to belong in a divided country, a child fixes his hopes on a red bike that encompasses all the possibilities the world might have to offer. Directed by acclaimed Bay Area director Jeffrey Lo, “Red Bike” presents a wildly imaginative, physical, and poetic performance of highly choreographed theatrical storytelling. Captivating audiences across the country in its National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere, San Diego Story deemed the poignant piece “exhilarating! A physically, compelling ride” and BroadwayWorld called it “energetic and imaginative.”
