The Cuban Vote

Prepare for an evening of political intrigue and comedy at the Kislak Center at the University of Miami on Thursday, October 17. The Cuban Vote brings a contemporary spin to the classic Shakespearean tale The Taming of the Shrew as it follows Carolina Clarens, a mayoral candidate who must navigate Miami's complex political landscape. With her unfiltered approach alienating key players, her campaign is floundering until a savvy consultant, Alex, steps in to help her secure the coveted Cuban vote. This romantic political comedy offers a fresh and entertaining look at the intersection of love, politics, and cultural identity, set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami. Co-sponsored by several University of Miami departments and funds, the event highlights the collaborative support for Cuban studies and the arts.
