Pregones Theater Presents La Caravana/The Caravan
Sunday, August 5

Pregones Theater is thrilled to present its 9th annual free-admission summer tour of metropolitan New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, part of the exciting 2007 JPMorgan Chase Summer Arts Series.

Don't miss this exuberant explosion of color, song, dance, and laughter! Performances are in Spanish and English, free to the general public, and suitable for family audiences.

Fight flap riles Puerto Ricans
Under pressure to join U.S. states in banning cockfights, the island territory holds fast to traditional blood sport. With cockfighting about to lose its last bastion in the United States, animal-rights activists are training their sights on Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory where the blood sport is both beloved tradition and big business.
