The Chrysalis
A play on a mission to help families support their LGBTQ+ loved ones
Miguel Fiol is a Puerto Rican activist, playwright, and doctor whose healthcare advocacy on behalf of the Puerto Rican people on the island and in Minnesota now includes The Chrysalis, a stirring family drama recognized as a promising new work by the Miranda Family Foundation National Playwriting Competition in New York City and by Teatro del Pueblo in St. Paul.
Donors interested in supporting Afro-Puerto Rican actors and musicians in the Twin Cities area, individuals and organizations wishing to help families support their LGBTQ+ loved ones, and theater lovers wishing to support the work of a vital but traditionally underrepresented group of actors and artists are invited to help bring The Chrysalis to life.
The Chrysalis is a drama set in 1990s Puerto Rico--a time when American pharmaceutical companies reaped tax-free profits making life-saving AIDS medications most Puerto Rican citizens couldn't afford. A father has to weigh the advantages of working for the Americans against the costs to his wife and two sons after a family friend accidentally contracts AIDS, and the only way forward is for every family member to face difficult questions at the very heart of their identities.
