Description excerpts per Creative Loafing: The enduring and popular local play by Mary Ellen and Richard DiPietra (depicts) a nostalgic day in the life of old Ybor City. Actor/writer Richard DiPietra, a Tampa native, harks back to his Tampa upbringing ... (He takes us ) on a journey through the physical and cultural life of Ybor City. Not the Ybor of today, with its bar scene and late-night revels, but what Ybor was before time and Interstate 4 cut through the heart of a very special place. DiPietra has looked back and blended his true remembrances with touches of fiction to create a... heart-warming look into the human experience of growing up in a melting pot that simmers with the smell of Spanish Bean Soup and fresh baked Cuban Bread - the kind that has a palm frond in it.

Per Richard DiPietra: I am a Cuban Sandwich is going to New York. Forget about Broadway, we're going to Chenango, baby! A lovely theatre in Greene, NY, and then points north. Your help would be greatly appreciated and does count fully towards your Karma account. Thanks!

Per Mary Ellen DiPietra: We have been invited to do a mini-tour of upstate NY. We will be at the Chenango River Theater in Greene, NY, on August 6, and the Depot Theater in Westport, NY, on August 8. We are asking for help to get us there! We will be ambassadors de Ybor and are bringing our wonderful sister Maggie Council DiPietra's music and Ferdie Pacheco's art with us. We will spread the word to our northern friends and family about what a beautiful place this was and always will be.

***Per Me: My partner Craig Reller & I recently hosted an enjoyable, intriguing, & successful "Lets Help Send Ronny Elliott to Okemah” Concert (Woody Guthrie Free Folk Fest). When I read that the DiPietras were spreading the word that they could use help with taking their Cuban Sandwich play to New York, I thought: This sounds like a fantastic opportunity to bring theater into the concert room and in so doing hopefully add a few $ to the DiPietras’ travel fund.  I hope you’ll agree and will get back to me ASAP with your RSVP.
