Be Careful! The Sharks Will Eat You! is a one man show written and performed by Jay Alvarez. This acclaimed play that has performed to sold out audiences in N.Y., Miami and L.A., tells the story of his family’s remarkable escape from Cuba five years after Castro’s rise to power, risking everything as they navigated the dark, shark-infested Caribbean Sea in a small boat heading for the American shore. This riveting story is a tribute to his father, Humberto Alvarez, and to all those who have sought a better life for their families. This is a three week limited engagement running from April 4-22.
