VIDEO: The Cast of SIMONA'S SEARCH On Bringing The Show To Hartford Stage

On stage from January 18 through February 11, 2024.

By: Jan. 18, 2024

Watch a chat with the cast of the world premiere production of Simona's Search: Christopher Bannow, Alejandra Escalante, and Al Rodrigo. Check out the video below!

The production is by Martín Zimmerman and directed by Melia Bensussen.

The past is always present. Simona’s father is an enigma. Curious about his life in Latin America before moving to the United States, Simona obsesses over his secrets as her thoughts and dreams become haunted by the mystery that is his past.

Simona’s Search is a riveting exploration of the bond between fathers and daughters, love and sacrifice, nature and nurture. From one of the writers and producers of Netflix’s Ozark comes this gripping world premiere. About Scene and Heard: Scene and Heard brings actors out of the rehearsal room and into deeper, behind-the-scenes conversations with Hartford Stage Artistic Director Melia Bensussen.

The world premiere of Simona's Search comes to Hartford Stage next week. Performances run January 18 – February 11, 2024.
