How to Break in a Glove

Set in 1999 Miami, the play follows an 11-year-old boy clinging to the fractured pieces of his Cuban American family: an iron-willed grandfather, a devoted but weary grandmother, a father fighting for relevance, and a mother torn between rebellion and responsibility.

Like a well-worn baseball glove, they must break in their bonds—stretching, softening, and learning to hold on before it’s too late.
