Mix-Mix: The Filipino Adventures of a German Jewish Boy at Los Angeles Theatre Center

Latino Theater Company and Playwrights’ Arena present the world premiere of an epic World War II odyssey inspired by an astonishing, little-known true story. Grand in scale, exciting, touching, and at times hilarious, Mix-Mix centers on 13-year-old Rudy Preissman, whose newfound tropical refuge in the Philippines after escaping Nazi Germany is upended when Japan invades the islands — forcing his family and their Filipino friends to hide out in the heights and depths of sacred Mount Banahao. The Los Angeles Theatre Center (The LATC), 514 S Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90013; $10-$48; (213) 489-0994; www.latinotheaterco.org
