In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams, and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. Follow bodega owner Usnavi and his friends as they dream of a brighter future in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s energetic Tony Award-winning Best Musical.

The poster artwork for In the Heights was created by Antonio Alanís:

Antonio Alanís is an artist and educator living in Durham, North Carolina. His immigrant background, personal history, and education inspired him to explore themes such as social justice, identity, and immigration in North Carolina. He believes that the visual arts are an integral part of promoting cultural awareness about Hispanic/Latinx people in the United States.

Sponsors

RLT is proud to partner with El Pueblo on our production of In the Heights. Founded in 1995, El Pueblo’s mission is to build collective power through leadership development, organizing, and direct action so that the Latin American community and other marginalized communities control our own stories and destinies. They focus on policy change, civic engagement, youth and adult leadership, and cultural celebration and expression. Due to the pandemic, El Pueblo shifted it’s work to address immediate community needs with a Mutual Aid Fund, food distribution, and COVID-19 testing and vaccination efforts. They recently launched a Community Action ID Program in order to provide undocumented community members a form of identification they can use in Wake County. To learn more about their work, visit ElPueblo.org and follow them on social media.
