Via Platanos Y Collard :
Platanos (that is Plaintains, Plantanos or Platanos:) Y Collard Greens is the hilarious hit romantic comedic Off-Broadway play that tells the story of Freeman and Angelita, two college students, who fall in love at first sight…until her mother finds out and has a heart attack! Platanos will remind you of your family, your loves and your life. Platanos is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, inspire you, and make you think.
The event is sponsored by SALSA, the David T. Kearns Center, the Latino Professional Alliance at the University of Rochester, and the office of Alumni Relations. It is free and open to the public.
