Written like a salsa song infused with love, legacy and liquor, we follow the ritmo of Raul y Mirasol as they find themselves stuck in generational burdens. As beliefs clash and memories become clearer “al compas del son”, their minds channel truths their heart y Dios can’t hide.
About the production:
Latin Lover began its artistic journey with its first workshop presentation at The Chain Theatre’s One-Act Festival in February 2025. The play infuses the stage with live music and Latin flavor, offering a story that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
As part of LPAC’s mission to nurture emerging artists, Latin Lover entered a collaborative development process designed to give creators a safe platform for experimentation, feedback, and growth. LPAC also paired the playwright with a dedicated mentor, creating an ongoing space to exchange ideas, refine scenes, and explore new directions between formal development milestones.
The next chapter of this journey arrives in October 2025, when Latin Lover returns to LPAC with Work in Progress Showing(s) that is shaped by months of feedback, mentorship, and creative collaboration. It will offer audiences a fresh opportunity to experience its evolving voice and vision.
