Atención, Atención, LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS has announced a "Carnaval De La Mirada" celebration of community and family at its critically acclaimed, smash-hit production of IN THE HEIGHTS! To coincide with L.A.

IN THE HEIGHTS tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York's Washington Heights neighborhood - a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It's a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams, and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Encanto, Moana, and Hamilton), this hip musical will win you over with its sweet story and hot tunes!
