I’m going to make this brief – 

It is 2022, and Anna in the Tropics by Nilo Cruz has been banned by the Miami Dade County  Public School System, prohibiting any schools from taking their students to experience this  Pulitzer Prize winning play. 

This unwarranted act of censorship is something that one would hope we had grown out  of, but as the world has shown us, nothing is safe.

The in-person shared experience that we as a people go through every  time we sit down at a theatre for the next play, musical, performance… But after March 12th, that was no longer possible.
