At times heart wrenching, at times full of laughter and love, "Be Careful! The Sharks Will Eat You!" played to sold out audiences in New York City, Miami Florida, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Portland OR. This true story takes you to the sultry beats of The Tropicana in the 1950s, the danger of Fulgencio Batista's fall and Fidel Castro's rise to power, a political revolution and an imagined CIA attempt to separate children from parents, the longing for a better life that propels one to throw themselves, under the cover of a moonless night into the unknown events that shaped the Alvarez family's escape from Cuba in 1964. www.sharkswilleatyou.com
