The historic Sierra Madre Playhouse, an intimate performing arts center noted for its eclectic programming, presents the world premiere of ¡Pasaje!, an enchanting journey of self-discovery and family relationships, running from October 4 to November 3, 2024. The riveting coming-of-age story explores themes of identity, belonging, and community through the eyes of Andy on the eve of his 18th birthday. He discovers that everything he believes in – his ethnicity, his family, his upbringing – are lies that have been told to him since birth. These lies lead Andy to South El Monte, where he meets a beautiful dancer, Marcelina, and the community patriarch, Don Miguel, who help him unearth long-buried secrets, propelling him to a poignant revelation about the Latin American diaspora and ultimate acceptance of his true self. In the end, he discovers his family is both flawed and redemptive.
Deeply rooted in South El Monte near East LA – both literally and figuratively – ¡Pasaje! honors Southern California’s vivid and diverse Latiné community. Written by San Gabriel Valley-native J. Quiroz, a first-generation Salvadoran American, ¡Pasaje! is a one-of-a-kind experience that promises to be poignant, heartrending, and magical. It features music and lyrics by multi-GRAMMY winner Asdru Sierra, co-founder of LA’s renowned Latin rock band, Ozomatli. The Sierra Madre Playhouse production is directed by Benjamin Perez, who was raised in Hacienda Heights (five minutes from South El Monte). Perez acted in national tours of In the Heights and Nice Work If You Can Get It, and directed several productions of In the Heights in regional theatres. The music director is Greg Porée, whose credits include working with Sonny & Cher, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as eight years on Dancing with Stars.
