LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE, DIOS INANTZIN Returns To Los Angeles In December

Latino Theater Company will present La Virgen de Guadalupe, Dios Inantzin on December 5 and 6, 2025, marking the return of the company’s long-running holiday tradition.

The production, first staged in 2002, is performed for free each year and draws tens of thousands of attendees to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

Adapted for the stage by Evelina Fernández from the 16th-century Nican Mopohua and directed by José Luis Valenzuela, the pageant tells the story of Juan Diego and his encounters with the Virgin Mary in 1531.

This year’s staging features Esperanza América as the Virgin and Sal Lopez as Juan Diego, joined by more than 100 performers, including actors, singers, musicians, indigenous Aztec dancers, children, and seniors from the Los Angeles community. The production is performed in Spanish with English supertitles.
