LATEA Theater & Caicedo Productions Present a Limited Engagement of I LOVE THEM ALL, 9/23-29

LATEA Theatre's production of "I Love them All" will run for a limitied engagement. It was written by AR Garcia, winner of the 2013 One Festival, and will also be performed by him. The play is about Nicholas De La Cruz, a young lawyer that has climbed the ladder of success through his aggressive litigation style and who has become consumed by vices. Fallen into sex addiction, alcoholism, and cocaine addiction he uses all his time for work. Plagued and haunted by nightmares prompts him to seek out therapy. In his sessions he uncovers that there is much more to his problems as he begins to talk, reflect, and reminisce about his childhood.

Ariel Rafael (AR) Garcia was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey the son of parents from the Dominican Republic. His parents instilled a love and interest in the arts from an early age. He fell in love with the manifestation of expressions through art, mainly writing and music. At the age of seven he began piano lessons and by the age of thirteen he was writing poetry.

AR's love of poetry evolved into story telling. His fascination with psychology and complex human behavior has been a driving force in his writings. In "I Love Them All" AR exposes a complex individual with psychological and emotional issues through a story audiences might relate to...encountering inner demons.
