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
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.
