Washington Heights is a tightly knit vibrant Latino neighborhood in New York City. On a hot July 4 weekend, lives are changed when dreams and hopes collide with the demands of the real world.

Usnavi, played by Mason Mendoza, grew up in the neighborhood and owns a small grocery store but dreams of moving to the Dominican Republic, his family’s homeland.

Vanessa, played by Casey Park, is Usnavi’s love interest but she also draws the attention of all the men in the neighborhood.

Usnavi’s friends Benny, played by Alika Tolzmann, and Nina, played by Kuʻulei Kekoa, like each other very much but she wants to go away to college and he doesn’t know what he wants.

Although dramatic events are changing the neighborhood, the residents get together to celebrate friendships one last time.

Usnavi has inherited a fortune and now has the ability to pursue his dream of moving to the Dominican Republic but will his dream bring him more happiness than his friendships in Washington Heights?

The Piragua Guy, played by ʻAukai Kekoa, sweetens up the neighborhood with his songs and flavored ices.

The cast receives a standing ovation from the audience at the end of its final performance.
