    To protect their daughter from the Communist regime, Sonia’s parents sent her to the United States during the Cuban revolution and she never saw them again. Thirty years later and living in the Midwest, Sonia, a fiercely devoted mother of two, has created a home that embraces her own cultural traditions along with her husband’s Jewish religion. Three months after 9/11, their son announces he is quitting college to join the army.

    Sonia combats grief and terrifying abandonment through political forces that once again threaten to shatter her family. Can she come to terms with her secret past, her parents’ decision, her children’s choices and her duty to her adopted country? Set in Minneapolis in 2001 and Cuba in 1961, Sonia Flew questions parental sacrifice, familial responsibility and patriotism in times when worlds collide.

      5 out of 5 stars rating "Best San Jose Rep production in years"
      Review posted by: Jeff Becker from San Mateo, California, May 26, 2010

      I love San Jose Rep - I've been going there for 25 years. Sonia Flew was easily the best drama they've put on in the past five years!

    • Event Name: Sonia Flew
      4 out of 5 stars rating "Parallel Storytelling"
      Review posted by: Susannah from San Jose, CA, May 18, 2010

      A great experiment in parallel stories from two different eras and how war intersect lives in both. The cast does a believable job of playing double roles which is a feat not acchieved by many.... Expand
