1st Stage Presents MOJADA Beginning This Month

Alfaro takes the chilling ancient Greek tale of Medea and re-imagines it in a Los Angeles Mexican-American immigrant community. After sacrificing nearly everything to begin this new life, Medea and her family weigh their love for each other against their drive to succeed. Mojada is an intense and passionate play, full of romantic fervor, magical realism, and a tense, gripping sense of foreboding that drives the characters ever forward towards irreversible acts of love and violence.

The 1st Stage production of Mojada by Luis Alfaro features Victoria (Tori) Gomez, Nancy Flores-Tirado, Diana Gonzalez-Ramirez, Mariela Lopez-Ponce, Camilo Linares, Rodin Alcerro, Noah Donadio, and Sophia Marrero. The production is directed by Elena Velasco.

The design team includes: scenic design by Mariana C. Fernandez, costume design by Taylor Aragon, lighting design by Luis Garcia, sound design by Cresent Haynes, and props design by Pauline Lamb.
