GROWING UP GONZALES -- Andres Chulisi Rodriguez plays a pair of brothers in "Growing Up Gonzales" by Felix Rojas, a bittersweet comedy of two boys growing up the Puerto Rican section of the Bronx, whose coming of age is marked by the untimely death of their father. Its poignancy comes from its being the story of a younger brother told by a "bad" older brother, one who tried to replace their father to his younger sibling. Andres Chulizi Rodrigues alternates between the parts, playing both boys, but portions of the story are also carried in visuals and video. It will be presented January 26 to February 25, 2012 at the Jan Hus Playhouse, 351 E 74th Street. Photo by Jonathan Slaff.
