Photo Flash: Center Theatre Group's 'LYDIA'

By:

Center Theatre Group's production of "Lydia" by Octavio Solis opens at the Mark Taper Forum April 15, and continues through May 17, 2009. Previews began April 2.

Directed by Juliette Carrillo, the cast for "Lydia" includes (in alphabetical order) Carlo Albán, Max Arciniega, Stephanie Beatriz, Catalina Maynard, Onahoua Rodriguez, Tony Sancho and Daniel Zacapa.

"Lydia" features scenic design by Christopher Acebo, costume design by Christal Weatherly, lighting design by Christopher Akerlind, sound design, additional music and string arrangements by David Molina and original compositions by Chris Webb. The production stage manager is Michelle Blair.

Press notes describe the play as "in the Texas border town of El Paso during the 1970s, a Mexican American family struggles with the aftermath of an accident that has injured the beloved young daughter, Ceci, and has deeply affected her mother, father and two brothers. Into this environment comes the mysterious Lydia, a sexy, confident young woman who has been hired as a caregiver. Lydia forms an immediate, almost miraculous bond with Ceci and brings new energy into the house, transforming everyone in it, but also unleashing demons that challenge the family even further".

Tickets for "Lydia" start at $20 and are available by calling (213) 628-2772 or online at www.CenterTheatreGroup.org. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Center Theatre Group box office at the Music Center. For the deaf community, call TDD (213) 680-4017 for tickets and information.
