This painfully funny slice of Cuban-American life in the suburbs is a cross between a Hispanic soap opera and an ethnic comedy with political overtones. This deft play can turn serious or silly in an instant and you'll need a scorecard to keep track of the cascading and frequently arboreous calamities. A full-cast performance featuring: Max Casella, Peter Michael Goetz, Valerie Harper, Alexuna Lambros, Anna Sophie Loewenberg, Jonathan Silverman and Joyce Van Patten.

      It's 1979, and it's been 20 years since the Cuban Revolution, when the Marquez family fled their beloved island for a new start in the U.S. As three generations gather to celebrate the wedding of Lizette, the first daughter born in their new home in California, no simmering family dispute or personal slight is left unturned. Equal parts soap opera, comedy, and valuable history lesson, this live performance captures the energy and intelligence of Machado's sparkling dialogue. BROKEN EGGS (1984) explores what it means to be a Hispanic-American family torn between old ways and cultures and a wide-open but uncertain future. B.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
