West Coast Premiere of THERE AND BACK Tells The Human Story Of Mexican Immigration
Fuego Productions in association with Company of Angels announces the West Coast premiere of There and Back, by playwright Raul Garza. This work opens up dialogue about the current immigration crisis with an eye towards the fraught history between the U.S. and Mexican immigrants. There and Back debuts on April 11, 2019 at Company of Angels, Los Angeles' oldest professional theater.
There and Back explores the tipping-point of injustice to immigrants mandated by the Trump presidency and offers a human voice to narrate the long American journey there. In the play, Gloria travels from her native Mexico to join her husband, Victor, on a migrant farmworkers' camp. Her arrival on the day of President John F. Kennedy's inauguration reveals stark contrasts between the American dream and her reality. A series of visits by a liberated, contemporary Virgen de Guadalupe offers Gloria a glimpse of her life and legacy in the context of other presidential eras-Reagan and Trump and presents a life-altering choice.
Michelle Bossy directs this work by Raul Garza with a cast that includes Liza Fernandez (The Good Place, To the Bone) as Gloria, Anna Lamadrid (Vida, Grey's Anatomy) as Guadalupe, and Bernardo Cubría (Queen of the South, Basilica) as Victor.
Performances run April 11 - 21, 2010 at Company of Angels at Legacy L.A 1350 San Pablo St,Los Angeles, CA 90033. Performances are Thursday through Saturday nights at 8:00PM andSundays at 7:00PM. Tickets can be purchased at companyofangels.org
