Lala Costa News

Join us at The Montalban as we celebrate diversity in cinema during the inaugural Super Duper Diversity Film Festival 2019.

In the fall of 2016, Lala Costa lit up United Solo's New York stage with her exhilarating Puerto Ricaness show, 'Calling Lala: A One Woman-Broadway-Adjacent-Boricua Show.' This fall her series 'Bad Cop Bad Cop' has gained heat in the film festival circuit. Starring Guillermo Canba as Mexican Cop and Lala Costa as Puerto Rican Cop, the dynamic duo's 'En Español' episode has already been accepted into festivals around the world. 'En Español,' the series' first episode, which started as an all Spanish language short, has already won Best Crime Comedy Short at the Silicon Beach Film Festival in Playa Del Rey and Best Buddy Comedy at the Silver State Film Festival in Las Vegas. It has also been selected by London's International Online Film Festival, Italy's Under The Stars Film Festival, and the 4th International Short Film Festival Pune, India.

After a win at the 2019 Silicon Beach Film Festival for Best Crime Comedy Short, Lala Costa's 'Bad Cop Bad Cop En Español,' heads to Las Vegas' Silver State Film Festival. The bilingual comedy series created by Lala Costa and produced by Guillermo Canba, stars the two as Beverly Hills cops, 'Puerto Rican' and 'Mexican' respectively, who use their imagination in order to escape their everyday patrolling duties. The all Spanish short which kicks off the ten episode bilingual series, is special to the creative team as they're both native Spanish speakers: 'We feel It's important to speak, create, and express yourself in your native language especially during this current 'speak English it's America' culture,' states Lala.

In the fall of 2016, Lala Costa's play, 'Calling Lala,' hit the New York's stage at Theatre Row, as part of United Solo, the world's largest solo festival. 'Calling Lala,' known as the Broadway-Adjacent-Boricua-Show, later went on to Theatre DeLuxe in Houston and The Whitefire Theatre in California.

Actress/Playwright Lala Costa awakens your inner Puerto Ricanness returning to SoloFest 2018 with her celebrated live solo show, CALLING LALA. The special one-night only Encore Performance will be Friday, January 12, 2018 at the Whitefire Theater in Sherman Oaks, CA.
