Bernarda Alba is a powerful matriarch, who imposes a strict rule on her household following her second husband’s funeral. Bernarda’s five daughters, however, struggle with her cold regime. The girls’ dreams, desires, and the lure of the outside world begin to permeate their isolated existence. Theater Latté Da’s production features a cast of ten of the Twin Cities’ finest women actor-singers.
BERNARDA ALBA is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals.
Theater Latté Da is grateful for the generosity of our BERNARDA ALBA Production Sponsors, Kathy & Allen Lenzmeier.
