SUMMARY:CTC presents the DNAWORKS production of The Real James Bond...Was Dominican (Preview)
DESCRIPTION:Written and Performed by Christopher Rivas\nDeveloped with and Directed by Daniel Banks  \nWhat happens when a James Bond-obsessed Dominican boy in Queens (who won’t go anywhere without his nerf gun)\, finds out that the real James Bond was Dominican?
