“In the Heights” at Gainesville Community Playhouse

In the Heights, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. The play runs from Friday, July 19 through Sunday, August 11, with 8pm performances Thursdays through Saturdays and 2pm matinees each Sunday. Funded in part by: Visit Gainesville-Alachua County, City of Gainesville Dept. of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, and The State of Florida Department of Arts and Culture.
