Anna in the Tropics (Nov 2003) Jimmy Smits, Victor Ortiz- Royale Theatre
When Cuban immigrants brought the cigar-making industry to Florida in the 19th Century, they carried with them another tradition. As the workers toiled away in the factory hand rolling each cigar, the lector, (historically well-dressed and well-spoken), would read to them. It was the lector who informed, organized and entertained the workers until the 1930s, when the rollers and the readers were replaced by mechanization. Anna in the Tropics (Nov 2003) Jimmy Smits, Daohine Rubin-Vega, Victor Ortiz- Royale Theatre Ybor City, a section of Tampa, was the center of the cigar industry, and it serves as the setting for Nilo Cruz's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Anna in the Tropics was honored with two nominations at the 2004 Tony Awards. The show was nominated in the category of Best Play and Best Featured Actress in a Play (Daphne Rubin-Vega)
