Latino Theater Co. and Playwrights’ Arena present

MIX-MIX:
The Filipino Adventures of a German Jewish Boy


inspired by true events from the life of Ralph Preiss

by Boni B. Alvarez
Directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera

Latino Theater Company joins forces with Playwrights’ Arena to present Alvarez’s epic WWII play inspired by the true-life experiences of Ralph J. Preiss. Directed by Playwrights’ Arena artistic director Jon Lawrence Rivera, Mix-Mix tells the coming-of-age tale of 13-year-old Rudy Preissman, who escapes Nazi Germany at the age of nine with his family to find safety in the Philippines. Their tropical refuge is upended when Japan invades the islands, forcing the family and their Filipino friends to hide in the heights and depths of sacred Mount Banahao.

  • Latino Theater Company is committed to providing full access to patrons with disabilities. Our theatre is ADA accessible and is enabled with the following features.

    A minimum of 3 wheelchair and semi-ambulatory tickets are available throughout this Theater.

    Our theatre has raked seating, with steps to most rows. Most seats are fixed, though there are a limited number of free-standing seats that may be preferable for some patrons.

    Accessible seating is available to those with mobility disabilities who require accessible seating because of their disability, at most price levels. This includes individuals who use wheelchairs, those who use other mobility devices, and people who cannot climb steps or walk long distances because of significant arthritis, or severe respiratory, circulatory, or cardiac conditions. Individuals who, because of their disability, cannot sit in a straight-back chair or those whose service dogs cannot fit under a non-accessible seat or lie safely in the aisle are also permitted to purchase accessible seats.

    Individuals purchasing a ticket for an accessible seat may purchase up to three (3) additional seats for their companions in the same row and that are contiguous with the accessible seat. If contiguous seats have already been sold and are not available, the Latino Theater Co. will offer other seats as close to the accessible seats as possible.

Reviews

“WOW!… THRILLING… a fact-based action-adventure epic as
vividly cinematic as it is imaginatively theatrical… visually stunning…
not only shines a light on a bona fide band of WWII heroes but does so
in the most riveting and awe-inspiring of ways.”
— Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

“POIGNANT AND HUMOROUS… vivid staging and impressive technical aspects…
stunning visuals that drive home the frantic nature of the travelers’ flight.”
— Martín Hernández, Stage Raw

“ELECTRIC… nothing short of visceral… original, relevant, socially meaningful.”
— Eric Gordon, People’s World

“BRILLIANT ENSEMBLE WORK… TRULY MOVING.”
— Hannah Schaffner, Larchmont Buzz
