Set in 1918 Tampa, Florida, Ybor City tells the story of two immigrant communities who work side by side and yet do not see each other. Music and dance drive this historical exploration into racial divisions. Song, dance, and solidarity become the characters' path to survival. The production is presented as part of the Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC) Carnaval of New Latinx Musicals, taking place at UC San Diego. The festival is presented in partnership with the La Jolla Playhouse and TuYo Theatre, and features concert readings of four new Latinx musicals. Rehearsal and reading are scheduled for August 24–30, 2026, in La Jolla, CA.
