HOOPLA! .:. LA Jolla Playhouse POP Tour 2022

3/30/2022

Picture
The fifth grade talent show is approaching, and everyone is abuzz at Baldwin Elementary. Winston wants to win the talent show with his cheerleading routine to prove to others that he’s more than the unfriendly “Fishboy” nickname they call him. Introverted artist Gina wants nothing to do with the talent show, and she knows that the overzealous (and generally unpleasant) twin sensations, Randy and Brandy, are probably going to win it all anyway. But with the persistence of Elliott, the school’s new kid and resident rebel, these unlikely friends form Hoopla, a dazzling hula hooping trio, and help each other navigate through the pressures of being a kid.

A fun play for the whole family!

Black Mexican

Who gets to be a part of Latinidad? While Valery fights to prove Ximena isn't Cuban, Alia has given up fighting that she is Latine. As the women in this play discover the truth about themselves and each other, they also have to face the internal bias that allowed a white woman to be Cuban but didn't allow a Belizean to call herself Latine.

(trans)formada

 

Sam is gay, a little trans, and a child of Mexican immigrants living in the Texas Hill Country. They're trying to figure out how to express their gender -- to themselves and to the world. Just as Sam is building the courage to present their gender to their mother, they go to a high school party. Everyone is way too into each other and drinking way too much. Amidst the debauchery, a brave and strange set of rituals ensues.

Kennedy Center, Teatro Vivo, Repertorio Español, Stages, San Diego Rep, AlterTheater Ensemble, and The Workshop Theater.

 

Get Your Pink Hands Off Me Sucka and Give Me Back

 

While studying abroad in Spain, Solandra, a young Dominican-American woman, finds herself alone in the throne room of Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand, whose portraits come alive, transporting her to 1492. Meanwhile, on the island of what we now refer to as “hispaniola,” Anacaona awakens, terrorized by a violent nightmare, which she soon learns is a prophetic dream. As Anacaona struggles to save her community from invasion, Solandra contends with her racial identity, attraction to older white men and their attraction to her.

As an actor, she is best known for her role as Zirconia on Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black.” A member of the Public Theater’s 2018-19 Emerging Writers Group, her plays include “Pa’ Ti Tengo De Todo” (The Public Theater’s Spotlight Series), "Get Your Pink Hands Off Me Sucka and Give Me Back (FKA Columbus Play)", "The Thief Cometh" (United SoloFestival), and "Mambo Sauce,” which was a semi-finalist for Clubbed Thumb’s 2018 commission. She’s also the creator of the new web series “Talk To Me” on IGTV. De Jesús is a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama.

 

Conjunto Blues

 

Conjunto Blues, written and performed by Nicolás R. Valdez, is a play that explores the social and historical conditions that led to the development of Conjunto music as an expression of cultural resistance and liberation. This story centers on playwright, actor, and musician Nicolás Valdez’s personal experience growing up in the Conjunto music scene and is loosely based on the relationship with his grandfather, himself a Conjunto music aficionado. Audiences are taken through a shifting landscape of memory and reflection that is highlighted throughout with traditional music performed live by Valdez and accompanied by musicians on Bajo Sexto (12 string Mexican guitar), Tololoche (upright bass), and drums. Filled with a cast of colorfully poignant characters, Conjunto Blues is a deeply personal performance for audiences of all ages and backgrounds that is sure to entertain and educate.


 
Nicolás R Valdez (Playwright & Performer) is a San Antonio, Texas based interdiscplinary performance artist with over 20 years experience in cultural arts activism. His introduction to the stage came early when, at the age of 9, Nicolas was trained in traditional Conjunto music by master accordionist Valerio Longoria Sr. By the age of 15 he was an active member of the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center’s youth theater company Grupo Animo, writing and performing in original staged works. His training continued at the University of Wisconsin Madison and later through the practical experience of working with other artists around the country. Over the years, Nicolas has developed his own unique style incorporating music, poetry and theater into culturally relevant performances that speak to the experiences of the communities along the US-Mexico border.

 

A Skeptic and a Bruja

 

Priscilla buys a home in the middle of nowhere after losing her life partner with the  hope of turning it into a lucrative Bnb. When she starts having paranormal experiences, she calls on paranormal investigators Sam and Jess from "A Skeptic and a Bruja" to help her. The women get more than any of them expected and more than they will ever be able to forget.


 
Rosa Fernandez (Playwright) lives in Buffalo, NY full time with her husband and two children. She is an associate member of the Dramatist Guild and a two time participant of the Emmanuel Fried New Play Workshop facilitated by Road Less Traveled Productions in Buffalo, NY. She attended Brooklyn College for a BFA in Theater. Her play, Curse of the Puerto Ricans was a semi-finalist for the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference and runner up in the MetLife Nuestras Voces Playreading Series for Repertorio Español. It has also made the 2020 Kilroys list and will hopefully receive it's World Premiere in 2021 at Bishop Arts Theatre Center in Dallas, TX.

About the play:
Jo’s grandfather—a decorated veteran—has died, leaving emotional wreckage and unpaid debts in his wake. As she prepares for the funeral, Jo’s heart is set on keeping grandpa’s burial flag; to get it, she’ll have to deal with her despondent mother, an attempted exorcism, and competition from a secret aunt young enough to be her little sister. It won’t be easy, but nothing an aspiring saint like Jo can’t handle.

Milagro in association with Teatros Unidos- A Newly Formed National Latinx Theatre Collective Announce:

The INGENIO 2020 Live Virtual Theatre Festival 
streamed September 25th – October 4th. Two weekends of readings of 6 new plays by Latinx playwrights as a celebration of resilience. 

Ingenio /ēn ‘he nē oh/: Spanish for wit, ingenuity; the inventive and creative capacity to create; a sugar cane refinery.

Who: Milagro, Baktun12 & Borderlands Theater, Cara Mía Theatre & Teatro Vivo, Teatro Luna West, TuYo Theatre, and In The Margin Theatre

What: INGENIO 2020

When: September 25 – October 4

Where: Online! Links to the Live Zoom Readings will be sent to you when you register on Eventbrite!

Tickets: Register via Eventbrite

In 2017 Milagro, Portland’s historic Latino theatre dedicated to new play production since 1985, launched INGENIO, a space where Latino/a/x playwrights of all races can develop their plays in a safe, supportive environment with mentors and artists to whom they can relate and support their script being driven to the next stage of production.

INGENIO solves one of the biggest and inequitable gaps in the American Theatre New Play Development Pipeline–the lack of access non-white playwrights have to space, time, and pay for leading artists to gather around new plays and offer them a professional development process. The INGENIO process provides an intrinsic step in the growth and development of several new full-length theatrical works each year. A long term changemaker, INGENIO interrupts many of the given reasons gatekeeping structures of predominantly white theatrical institutions give for not accepting more plays by Latina/o/x writers.

“It felt really wonderful to have support for a piece still in progress, to be recognized by a Latinx theatre company, and to get to be a part of what feels like a really loving and unique community of artists. (…) The company’s willingness to support emerging writers (all of us writing very risky, “out there”) plays was really wonderful to experience. It’s incredibly rare that a company will take a chance on unknown writers and give us space/time to experiment. I felt really, really lucky to be included this year and hope to continue a relationship with the company.” — Adrienne Dawes, Playwright _ Ingenio 2018

Rehearsals and workshops culminate in readings and feedback sessions with audiences of theatre professionals and members of the public. But in 2020, INGENIO goes national!

Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic, INGENIO 2020 moves to the digital realm, with rehearsals, workshops, and readings shifting online. INGENIO 2020 offers the opportunity for collaboration beyond geographical limitations, being produced this year in association with Teatros Unidos, an emerging collective of Latinx theatre organizations.

“In a time of darkness and isolation, Teatros Unidos has been a beacon for all of the good that can come out of this terribly confusing moment. Theatre is being challenged to figure out how it will translate itself into the next chapter. This has been a reminder that collaboration is central, that no one knows everything, but that together we have all the wisdom necessary to thrive no matter the circumstance. To now expand that circle out to include these playwrights and the artists that will bring their pieces to life, is extraordinary”, says Alexandra Meda of Teatro Luna West.

In addition to Milagro, readings will be presented by Baktun12 & Borderlands Theater, Cara Mía Theatre & Teatro Vivo, In The Margin Theatre, Teatro Luna West, and  TuYo Theatre. These organizations came together after a call from Milagro Executive Director, Jose Gonzalez to other Teatro Artistic Directors around the US: How are you surviving, and how can we work together through this crisis? The result has been twice-monthly meetings that range in conversation and resulted in this first joint producing effort. All participating organizations will broadcast the full schedule to their audiences expanding each play’s reach.

This event is being curated and produced by the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Logan Squared Productions, which has received “Critic’s Pick”, “Best Bet” and many “must-sees” for their annual THAT 24-HOUR THING theatre event at the San Diego International Fringe Festival. Hannah Logan produces it with her graphic designer partner, Ron, and says, “We already have people responding from all over the world; Venezuela, Italy, and Australia. A director who already has the virus is joining us as a participant. This is a worldwide crisis but theatre is the cure for that feeling that we are alone in our experience. Our venues were shut down, but let’s create a Worldwide Theatre Pandemic. Let’s bring entertainment, inspiration, humor, hope, and faith into homes everywhere. Your home is our theatre. Please join us.”
