This station presents a narrated account focused on the theater of El Círculo Cubano de Tampa, describing its role as a venue for plays, musical performances, lectures, bufos, and zarzuelas during Ybor City's early 20th-century cultural life. The narration by E.J. Salcines documents performances by traveling theatrical groups from Spain, Mexico, and Cuba and notes that the theater operated as the only Spanish-language theater project funded by the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s. This video also traces postwar decline and a major restoration effort initiated in 2008 to repair structural damage and update the stage, lighting, and sound.
E. J. Salcines (Thu,) studied this question.
