Poster Image for La Quinta Pared

 

March 17, 2011 – March 19, 2011
La Quinta Pared
by Maykol Hernández | Directed by Luis O’Malley | Produced by 2Rc Teatro, Compañía de Repertorio and The Latino Theater Company

An assassin for hire is contracted to end the life of his victim, when both of them cross paths with a vagabond. Through this encounter, The Fifth Wall reflects on life, obstacles, phobias, and destiny. What are we? Who are we? What are we doing here? What is our life’s mission? What impedes us to be what we want, to do what we desire? Are we in control of our own footsteps? Who are the authors of our history?

Un “asesino” a sueldo es contratado para acabar con la vida de una chica, su “víctima”, en el camino de ambos se cruza un “vagabundo”. A partir de este peculiar encuentro, La quinta pared reflexiona sobre la vida, las barreras, las fobias, y especialmente, sobre el destino. ¿Qué somos?… ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Qué hacemos aquí?… ¿Cuál es nuestro papel, nuestra misión, nuestro camino?… ¿Qué nos impide ser lo que queremos, hacer lo que deseamos?… ¿Somos realmente nosotros quienes dirigimos nuestros pasos…quienes escribimos nuestra historia?…

A Weekend with Pablo Picasso
by Herbert Siguenza | Directed by Todd Salovey | Produced by The Latino Theater Company

Acclaimed actor-writer Herbert Siguenza (of Culture Clash) returns to Los Angeles with his first one man show.  Siguenza brings his virtuosic writing, acting and painting skills into Picasso’s private studio, “Le Californie” on the coast of France in 1957 for an intimate and revealing weekend into the creative mind and work of one of the most inspiring artists of modern history.  Picasso’s controversial and flamboyant opinions and creations gripped the public imagination and forever changed 20th century art history.  This play explores Picasso’s proclamations about ambition, destruction, creativity, love and art as an agent of social change.

Stories and Songs Los Angeles Premiere!
Produced by About Productions in association with the Latino Theater Company/LATC

An intimate evening with LOS LOBOS’ David Hidalgo and Louie Perez

The L.A. premiere touring production offers a unique insight into the music and the men who created it.  It began in high school: David Hidalgo and Louie Perez became friends and started writing songs after school.  Now, 40 years later, the front men of the distinguished East L.A. rock group, Los Lobos, bring it full circle and treat audiences to a songwriting showcase and acoustic performance.  Join us for an insider look into the collaboration process between these Grammy Award-winning song writers whose work has been covered by many music luminaries including the late Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello, Pop and Mavis Stables, Tom Waits, and Robert Plant.  Perez will also highlight his collaboration with About Productions as they share excerpts from their theatrical work-in-progress Evangeline, the Queen of Make-Believe.

The evening is a fundraiser that will support the development of About Productions Evangeline, the Queen of Make-Believe and its related educational programs.
