STONEHEART in the LATC Cast: Valeria Vega, Adriana Cuba, Lourdes Arteaga, Vanessa Flores, Markuz Rodriguez and Lester Isariuz.

The cast has been revealed for 'Stoneheart' by playwright Georgina Escobar, presented by Camino23 Collective, a latinx theater collective at the Latino Theater Company Encuentro 2024. This collaboration, coming from San Diego and Tijuana to Los Angeles, is dedicated to promoting authentic and respectful Latino representation in the arts.

"Stoneheart" is a powerful deconstructed Western that explores societal constructs of femininity and class through the lens of Birdie Zermani. As her mind deteriorates, our aging matriarch is launched into a fabula of history and myth revealing a parallel deterioration of a family and a society in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua in the 1980s. Persecution, forbidden love, curses, rattlesnakes, suicide come together in a visceral family drama where the Zermanis are forced to cope with the death of their legacy amidst the rise of a new generation of 'society's finest.'

Under Daniel Jáquez's visionary direction, this production promises to captivate audiences with its heartfelt storytelling and dynamic performances.

The cast for the performances at The Los Angeles Theatre Center includes Valeria Vega as Birdie, Lourdes Arteaga as Samara, Vanessa Flores Cabrera as Josefina, also known as Jojo, and Adriana Cuba Cuentas as Magdalena, also known as Mage. Markuz Rodriguez will be playing Hector, and Lester Isariuz will take on the roles of Cowboy and Ricardo. The voice-over narrator will be performed by Andrea Agosto.

With a talented cast representing a diverse range of backgrounds, Camino23 Collective is committed to elevating Latino voices and ensuring authentic representation on stage. The ensemble brings a wealth of experience and passion, making "Stoneheart" a must-see event this season.

Camino23 Collective is making waves in the theater community, known for its commitment to exploring the complexities of the Latino experience through innovative storytelling and collaborative artistry. The collective's mission is to create inclusive spaces that resonate with audiences.
