Teatro Arroyo presents L.A. Pastorela at 3 venues in December!

Five hundred years ago, during the Golden Age of Spain, the already ancient Medieval shepherd plays were taken to Mexico to help convert the native populations.  With the blending of cultures, these humble plays transformed into immensely popular and lively holiday entertainments, where the sacred and the profane mixed freely, drawing everyone into the spirit of celebration. 

Teatro Arroyo will update this ancient theatrical journey into 21st century Los Angeles. Through song, dance, music, drama, comedy and poetry, L. A. PASTORELA will explore how any pilgrimage or migration can attract angels to encourage and demons to distract, as they battle over human souls! Previews begin in the first week of December.  The run of the show will culminate with a closing night at the Winter Noise on December 21, 2013!

This play about nomadic shepherds will itself be a nomadic production, with the whole production carried on the backs of the cast and crew.  L.A. Pastorela  will opening on December 7 at Avenue 50 Studio, and run the following week at Excel Charter School, then moving back to Avenue 50 for three nights before presenting a closing performance at the Highland Park Ebell Club.
