Sancocho

Two Sisters, One Recipe, and the Truth

OCT 14 - NOV 23, 2025 | FIELDING STAGE

About the show:
Caridad is determined to teach her younger sister to cook the family recipe for the traditional beef stew, sancocho—but Renata only wants her to review their father’s will. Simmering between the two Puerto Rican sisters is a family tension that finally comes to a boil as their father enters hospice care. Christin Eve Cato’s Sancocho explores family secrets, generational divides, and the healing that can only come from a meal made with love.
