Casa de Cultura Navarrete

Our Christmas, the play I saw at this location, was terrific! Buried beside a church in Washington Heights, this place housed a hidden theatrical treasure. The cast of the play was great. The actors really developed strong characters and embellished an already wonderful and hilarious storyline. The play offered a touching and funny insight into the Christmas traditions of four very different Latino friends. Also, the music was simple yet sufficient. The location was intimate with only 50 seats. The only drawback was the run-​down theater space; there were sheets stapled or tacked to the walls, the walls were sloppily painted with both high gloss and flat paint, an old drop-​ceiling was stained and falling down in parts. This distracted some from the overall experience. It could be worth fixing this, especially if there are plans to continue hosting such great plays. Also, two thumbs up for whoever decided to promote this show at a discount ticket site online. I learned about this from an email and came with friends. So worth it, I would see it again if I could!
