For our fall production, LA Mission College Theatre Arts will present Letters From Cuba by María Irene Fornés, directed by Christian Barillas. This final play from the legendary Latinx playwright tells the story of a young immigrant artist who builds a new life in the United States while anchored in Cuba by his brother. Partly autobiographical, Fornes uses letters written by her brother back home to create a theatrical experience using poetry and dance to capture a longing for reunion.

Letters From Cuba will be presented in the AMP Theater from November 15-24, 2024. Information about auditions for actors and interviews for design and production team members will be available August 12. 

The LA Mission College Theatre program is aiming to build upon the tremendous success of the 2023-24 year with a new year of exciting productions, guest artists, tremendous classes, and original student work.

Christian Barillas returns to direct our fall production, Letters From Cuba, from legendary Latinx playwright Maria Irene Fornes. This fall also sees the return of the advanced acting class. Intermediate Applied Acting, where Robert Cucuzza will work with students to develop a stage adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley novel, Frankenstein, which will then be produced in the spring 2025 semester. 

Other theatre courses include Introduction to Scenic Design and Introduction to Stage Craft (inst. Bri Pattillo), Script Analysis and Introduction to Theatre (inst. Cucuzza), and Introduction to Acting (inst. Brian Tichnell).
