Our Next International Collaboration!

July 6, 2010 - Rehearsals began this week in Ecuador.  Yes, Ecuador.  It’s the home of famed theatre director/playwright Aristides Vargas, a legend in the Latin American Theatre.  This September, we’ll open the U.S. Premiere of Aristides’ play La Razón Blindada at 24th ST.  So this week, our 24th ST actors flew to Quito, where the first month of rehearsals will be held.  Then Aristides, will come to LA and finish directing the play at 24th ST.  This is an international co-production with Mexico’s Instituto de Culturo/24th ST/and the Universidad Autonoma of Culiacan, Mexico.  More details from Ecuador as rehearsals take shape.  Stay tuned… 

El Ogrito

Written by Suzanne Lebeau
Directed by Jesus Castaños-Chima

The US Premiere of El Ogrito (The Ogreling) opened at 24th Street in May 2009 and had a successful three-month run. It received widespread critical acclaim, including the Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice selection. The production then toured to 10 cities in Mexico, El Salvador, Colombia and the Central California coast, and returned to 24th Street for an encore performance in June 2010.

The winner of Canada’s 2000 Prix Masque Award and translated into eight languages, Québec playwright Suzanne Lebeau’s stage work probes the monster within all of us. Adapted from the original French text and presented at 24th Street Theatre in Spanish with projected English super titles, Lebeau’s internationally acclaimed coming-of-age story for all ages chronicles the struggles of a young boy born to a human mother and an ogre father as he tries to overcome his animal instincts and find his place in human society.
