Abuela’s Party at The Understudy Coffee and Books – Chicago, IL

Abuela cordially invites you to her party. Let’s just say… she didn’t spend all these years being alive just to not know how to throw down . Come down to The Understudy and come shake some a$$ with Chicago’s very own DJ miamor as we raise money for Kidany Camilo’s play, Abuela’s Follies, which is a part of Red Orchid Theatre’s Incubator Series running from August 10 – 23.

There will be music, there will be a raffle, hot ppl, and there will absolutely be coquito. This isn’t your normal Abuela: so you better dress up right.

She wants to see you wear your best Boricua Baddie or Bad Bunny Halftime inspired attire. Scroll down for some inspo.

Tickets are $15 in advance, $25 at the door – so get them ASAP! 100% of the proceeds will be going towards the production of Abuela’s Follies.

This event is 21+

See you there~
