About the Play
Korean U.S. Army veteran Angel Roman has been estranged from his wife, Caridad, and their son, Junior, for over 11 years. Because of his homosexuality and his guilt of being an unfit father, he struggles to pull his family together when he's given a second chance.
Although it's not given much notice in the Latino community or is usually treated with humor and fluff, the issue of homosexuality connected with parenting is taken very seriously, be it tacit or pronounced. "Tell Me a Story, Papi" touches on three generations of men who have to deal with unconditional love that is hard for them to face in a macho-dominated culture.
