In honor of National Latino Heritage Month, MultiStages presents TEMPLE OF THE SOULS, an epic new musical of secrets, lies and forbidden love… set deep in the magical rain forest of Puerto Rico. Two worlds collide when Amada, the beautiful daughter of a Conquistador, and Guario, a young Taíno, run away to the mountain top to escape the intolerant world below. In this mythical romance, our young lovers find themselves at the TEMPLE OF THE SOULS where nightmares and dreams come true.
