LOS ANGELES MISSION COLLEGE THEATRE ARTS
Bringing professional theatre training and productions to Los Angeles's Northeast Valley since 2015
FALL 2024 PRODUCTION
LETTERS FROM CUBA
Based on three decades of letters that Fornés received from her brother in Havana, Letters From Cuba drifts between Cuba and New York City, spanning a decade across the turn into the 21st century. On a two-story set designed by guest artist Dorothy Hoover—with ladders, windows, doors, hallways, and a fire escape—Cuba hovers above a cramped New York apartment where three young artists—Fran, Joseph, and Marc—bob-and-weave, their hearts afire with poetry, music, dance, and longing. Above them, Luis struggles under a Communist regime, desperate to reunite with his sister while inextricably tied to home.
​
Letters From Cuba will be presented in the AMP Theater from November 15-24, 2024.
