Whittier Boulevard at Latino Theater Company

The Latino Theater Company presents Whittier Boulevard, an acclaimed "Chicano Noir" satire that combines comedy, drama, music, dance, and theatrical elements to tackle themes of ageism in a dystopian future. Set in Los Angeles in 2042, the story follows fading Chicana starlet Veronica Del Rio, played by Evelina Fernández, as she confronts the totalitarian regime threatening to erase the elderly. With the assistance of her outspoken nurse and a kind-hearted policeman, Veronica seeks to find love and reclaim her narrative before her birthday. Directed by José Luis Valenzuela, the ensemble also features Zilah Mendoza, Geoffrey Rivas, and Eduardo Robledo.
