What exactly is a “Quarter Rican”? It’s a term for someone who is one-quarter Puerto Rican. But what does that fraction mean when it comes to identity, family, and culture?

​

Quarter Rican, a hip-hop musical, explores those questions through the story of a thirty-something father navigating his own insecurities while figuring out how to raise a child connected to their Latinx heritage.

​

Enter MC Plátano, his larger-than-life alter ego, who brings humor, music, and hip-hop into the mix while challenging him to think about parenthood, identity, gentrification, and what we pass on to the next generation.

​

Blending comedy, music, and plenty of introspection, Quarter Rican features a dozen original songs that move from sharp, sarcastic humor to soulful reflection.

​

Funny, personal, and thought-provoking, Quarter Rican asks a question many of us can relate to: How do we make sure the next generation knows where they come from?

Developed through Pregones Theater’s Step-Up Artist Residency and premiered at Mile Square Theatre.
