About theatre:
Experience why Luis Alfaro remains a quintessential part of Magic Theatre and at the center of our future in many ways.
Continuing Alfaro’s legacy is emblematic of our own present state, as a city and nation : immigrant life, the heartland, our migrant roots, lost connections and longing in between.
Set inside a nearly abandoned Catholic monastery, The Travelers explores a disconnected community and a search of corazon with intimate honesty and inspired humor. This premiere is focused on an all male presenting group of actors, and will be designed by an all female and nonbinary identified team, led by director Catherine Castellanos.
About Luis Alfaro:
Luis Alfaro is an essential part of the Magic Theatre’s recent history (four productions, three world premieres in the last decade) and will be at the center of the future of the works we generate at the Magic we generate here.
Continuing Alfaro’s amazing work that is emblematic of our State- the immigrant life, the city rearing, the migrant roots- he aims to make a new play that reflects on the state of our state, and therefore our country.
In The Travelers, Alfaro sets us inside a near abandoned Catholic monastery, as he explores the disconnect to community through a cast of men in search of connection and corazon with intimate honesty and inspired humor.
These travelers are emblematic of our communities of the Central Valley as they seek some soul connection in our State that is building prisons over schools and forgoing any sense of faith over fear mongering. In the original voice of our Latine world- Alfaro’s writing breaks through religious dogma, recognizes our cultural connections, and offers a solace for our communal souls.
This premiere is focused on an all male presenting group of actors, and will be designed by an all female identifying or nonbinary team, led by director Catherine Castellanos. Alfaro’s Bay Area works include premieres at the Magic Theatre: Oedipus el Rey, Bruja, This Golden State: Delano; and with several local theatres: Alleluia, The Road, Electricidad, and more. Alfaro is part of the Artistic Leadership at Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles and on the Faculty at USC, among his many positions and titles. [read amazing article].
