La Puce a l’Oreille (A Flea in her Ear) http://www.york.cuny.edu/events/la-puce-a-loreille-a-flea-in-her-ear-dec8-late Eccentric and hilarious, Georges Feydeau's masterpiece mixes wit, mayhem, fun and frivolity. When the beautiful wife of Victor Chandebise suspects him of having an affair, she enlists the help of her dearest friend to entrap him - but their elaborate scheme spectacularly misfires and chaos ensues! Set in Les Années Folles (The Crazy Years) of post-WWI Paris, and enlivened by the rhythms of ragtime jazz, Feydeau's quintessential farce promises to be an exhilarating evening of mistaken identities and comic disaster.

Many believe the bulk of the Dominican American experience in New York City lies in Washington Heights, but in the unexpected corners of now gentrified upper mid-town are remnants of what once was: Lucecita Ortensia Cruz is one of only a handful of Dominican immigrants that stubbornly remains in this neighborhood.

A sudden death in the family forces her son, Julio César, to return to the City after a five year self-imposed absence.  In the course of two nights they attempt to rekindle the love and appreciation for each other and their Dominican roots.  But hidden secrets are unexpectedly revealed and threaten to destroy an already thin bond.

Muchos creen que la mayor parte de la experiencia dominicana se encuentra en la ciudad de NuevaYork en Washington Heights, pero aun queda una huella de lo que antes fue en las equinas distinguidas del upper mid-town. Lucecita Ortensia Cruz es una de las pocas personas de los muchos inmigrantes dominicanas que aun viven en el barrio.

Una muerte inesperada entre la familia causa que al disgusto de Julio César, el hijo de Luzecita, regrese a la cuidad después de su ausencia de cinco años. Después de su llegada, Lucecita y Julio tratan de renovar el amor entre los dos y de sus raíces, pero unos secretos salen a la luz y amenazan destruir la relación entre ellos.
