In The Time Of The Butterflies Tickets

In The Time Of The Butterflies is a dynamic performer born from the powerful stage adaptation of Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies. Created by playwright Caridad Svich, the work brings the Mirabal sisters—the Butterflies—from the pages of literature to the modern stage. Svich's adaptive approach has yielded both Spanish-language and English-language productions across the United States, earning recognition for its bold storytelling and historical resonance. This performer page highlights their biography, notable works, and how audiences can experience regional productions as they tour.

Named after the groundbreaking novel, the performer collaborates with a network of theatres that have staged the piece in major cities and regional theaters, offering a compelling entry point into Dominican Republic historical fiction brought to life on stage. Whether you’re a long-time theater-goer or new to this story, we’ve got you covered with essential background, credits, and venue information to help you secure your seats for upcoming performances.

Key productions inspired by the Mirabal sisters include early Spanish-language runs at Repertorio Español (New York) and subsequent English-language premieres with regional tours. Notable past engagements span Repertorio Español (NYC, 2011–2012), Teatro Vista (Chicago, 2013), Teatro Paraguas (Santa Fe, 2013), Stageworks Theatre (Tampa, 2018), Cleveland Public Theatre (Cleveland, 2017–2018), and Prime Stage Theatre (New Hazlett Theater, Pittsburgh, 2019). The work aligns with a lineage of acclaimed dramaturgy, with Caridad Svich earning a 2012 OBIE Award for Lifetime Achievement, and Julia Alvarez’s original novel being a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist in 1994.
