In October, the LTC will stream all three parts of Evelina Fernández’s epic A Mexican Trilogy. Beginning with Part 1, Faith, will stream on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Travel with the Morales family through decades of the Mexican-American experience, from a remote mining town in Arizona during World War II, to the Phoenix family home during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and, finally to Los Angeles following the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005. A Mexican Trilogy is the winner of the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle’s Ted Schmitt Award and is published by Samuel French. Part 2, Hope will stream on Tuesday, Oct. 13; and Part 3, Charity, will stream on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
In the last week of October, on Tuesday, Oct. 27, the LTC will stream archival footage of Dementia, with the online conversation set for Wednesday, Oct. 28. Written by Evelina Fernández and directed by José Luis Valenzuela, Dementia was first produced in 2002, garnering a GLAAD Award for Outstanding Theater Production and four Ovation nominations, and was revived by the LTC in 2010 (Los Angeles Times “Critic’s Choice”) and again in 2017. This innovative play tackles topics taboo in the Latino community, including homosexuality, Aids, teen pregnancy, and euthanasia — all through the Latino Theater Company’s uniquely styled lens.
