Miami 'Micro Theater' Brings Spanish Tradition To The States

Published November 20, 2015 at 1:20 PM EST

For the past three years, thousands of Spanish-speaking residents in Miami have been introduced to a new form of entertainment. It's an idea that originated in Spain during the worst part of that country's recession.

Luis Hernandez from Here & Now contributor WLRN reports on how the producers are trying to spread their idea across the Americas, and to English-speaking audiences.
