		<title>LA Times Theater review: &#8217;1951-2006&#8242; at Los Angeles Theatre Center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[May 21, 2010 &#124;   6:00 am

Politics and storytelling have always been inseparable for  activist-writer Donald Freed, and his new play &#8220;1951-2006&#8243; remains true  to form. Directed by the author under the auspices of LATC&#8217;s resident  Latino Theatre Company, the show spans five decades of American history  as reflected in the romance between neighbors in a tawdry Manhattan  brownstone.
Sparks of wit fly fast and furious when embittered  war hero and self-styled Jewish &#8220;sit-up comedian&#8221; (he uses a wheelchair)  David (Michael Matthys) meets Meg (Debra ...]]></description>

Photo by  Brooks Wachtel
Writer-director Donald Freed&#8217;s romance about a  military veteran, Dave (Michael Matthys), who, in 1951, finds himself  confined to a wheelchair in a grubby fourth-floor New York City walk-up,  and the woman, Meg (Debra De Liso), who moves in across the hall.  François-Pierre Couture&#8217;s set shows the hallway with its grimy tile  floor and slats emerging through the edges of the cement walls, offering  an intersection of realism and surrealism that will play itself out in  the ...]]></description>

May 14, 2010 &#124; 11:00 am
 

&#8220;It&#8217;s all about the exit, you know&#8221; is the keynote of &#8220;Dementia,&#8221; and  what an enthralling finale its dying protagonist orchestrates.  Evelina  Fernández&#8217;s surreal dramedy about an AIDS-stricken stage director  planning his own farewell party receives a stunning return engagement at  Los Angeles Theatre Center.

Meet  Moises (originator Sal López, beyond praise), better known as Moe, who  may be losing control of his faculties, but he&#8217;s hardly going out with a  whimper. As ...]]></description>

 Dementia  – A Play by Evelina Fernandez 
 By  Joe Straw

My wife, lying in a bed at County USC  Medical Center and dying of cancer, was taken to the room. We knew what the room meant. And in spite the few short months of  prayers and tears, they were taking us there.
A decision had to be made.  Coming  in the next morning to tell her, she interrupted me and said they were looking in on her.  The  tile in ...]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Dementia&#8217; Review &#124; ACCESSIBLY LIVE OFF-LINE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DEMENTIA, a melodramatical play written by Evelina Fernandez about a dying man&#8217;s wish for his own &#8220;going away party&#8221; and the colleagues that are in attendance, opens at The Los Angeles Theater Center in downtown Los Angeles.
Sal Lopez is Moises&#8211;better know to his circle of friends as just &#8220;Moe&#8221;. In his youth, he was a man of Mexican heritage that lived the lifestyle of east Los Angeles, embracing the Latino community with its music, its fashion, and the passage of cursing down Wittier Blvd. in a slick and clean low ...]]></description>

		<title>A Journey into &#8220;Dementia&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Karina Castillo 

Evelina Fernandez&#8217; tale of an AIDS  stricken man and the impact the illness has on, not only him but his  friends and family, is no less than thought provoking. Those who  remember the 2002 workshop of Dementia, you will not be  disapointed as Sal Lopez reprises his role as Moises, who spends the  entirety of the play planning his &#8216;going away&#8217; party. But this time he&#8217;s  going away for good.
The party is attended by his close friends, including his best friend ...]]></description>

		<title>LA WEEKLY&#8217;S NEW REVIEW GO DEMENTIA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Photo by  Ed Krieger

 Anyone who survived the deadly HIV plague time of  the &#8217;80s, when the best and brightest of the arts community was  virtually wiped out by the disease, can&#8217;t help but be moved by the  pathos of playwright Evelina Fernández&#8217;s AIDS melodrama. And while the  urgency of the play might have diminished somewhat in the intervening  years of antiretroviral successes, director José Luis Valenzuela&#8217;s  re-staging of the Latino Theater Company&#8217;s acclaimed, 2002 production  has lost none of its ...]]></description>
